large for all to see:

The rising cost of fuel is pushing inflation up all the time - yet in
the face of a coming national emergency, it has been revealed that
Shell and BP have made record profits over the last six months of $8
billion and $6.75 billion respectively.

In Shell’s case, this works out to a profit - not turnover mind - of
$1.8 million an hour - was up eight per cent on the same time last
year.

Why do these things never say how much they in taxes, corporate, federal
income, payroll, property, county, city, state, to hit the more obvious
ones? In this case how much would it be per hour? Would it be about 10
times what they make in profit? That's real outlay, mind you..........
