Good, I own stock. Why are you ****ed at success? Loser.
Well, if that's your sense of corporate ethics, don't forget to buy stock in
Halliburton. But, wait, Bush is making them return some of the profits they
made for selling gas at $2.80 a gallon in Baghdad. So, even the mighty "Shrub"
recognizes that there is indeed a line where profits become gouging, right?
$2.80? Better check your facts. Halliburton's KBR subsidiary charged the Army
between $1.62 and $1.70 per gallon. While the average price in the Middle East
is/was around $.71 per gallon, Halliburton charged that price for 'guaranteed'
delivery. Not to bad considering the logistics of doing so in a war zone.
Could you do better? No? I thought not.
