Why are Big Oil Companies allowed to continue running up Huge Profits?
Perhaps we are just naive here at ‘Do Take It Personal’, but it sure seems to be a major problem for more than just the everyday consumers feeling the pain of high gas prices. We are seeing airline companies crumbling, we are seeing automotive companies crumbling, we are seeing logistics/transportation companies crumbling - and yet big oil companies are still basking in the sunny days of large amounts of profits. How come nobody, no government agencies, no business leadership figures or anybody with clout for that matter, start fighting these energy Goliaths?
Reading today’s Washington Post, brought us further frustration that big oil companies are not only kicking consumers, manufacturing, logistics and transportation companies around - they are also kicking their own franchisee dealers around too!

It is absolutely ridiculous to witness such behavior being tolerated day in and day out. We are so ‘conditioned’ to accept high gas prices these days, even a small temporary price decline warrants a smile and widespread celebrations. They have ‘gotten’ us, ladies and gentlemen, they have ‘gotten’ us.

[...] It is very difficult for us here at ‘Do Take It Personal’ not to elaborate further on gas prices and following up on our post yesterday concerning big oil companies with big profits. [...]
