> [@77rednecktruck](#): > > last time I checked, it wasn’t easy to run a billion dollar company. He deserves his pay and I don’t think we are getting ripped off at the pump. Look at inflation over the years and look at the gas prices, they really have not moved up at all until a few years ago. Gas was about $1/gallon for the entire 80’s and 90’s.(I don’t really know if it was or not but I will say it for arguments sake. 🙂 ) It’s finally moving up to where it is supposed to be due to inflation. I really don’t like paying $35/week to fill up but that’s just the way it is. If you don’t like it, get a better job or invest some money in Exxon and get some dividends coming your way. But whatever you do, QUIT BITCHING ABOUT GAS PRICES!!! First off, I don’t think there is a job a single person on the planet could possibly do that would honestly “earn” 50+ million a year. That is roughly $1.58 a second, 24 hours a day, 365 days a week, absolutely insane. That single CEO could be replaced by a small army of more knowledgeable and more productive people at a much lessor expense. Anyone who knows much about corporations knows the people at the top are usually there because of who they know, not what they know (i.e. friends on the board of directors). How many CEO’s have you ever met or had a discussion in person with? They are easily replaceable, and often times are. As for the sports people, take away the big pay players and your left with a corporation more often than not makes less revenues, as they as individuals are truly worth a large value in the big picture. ---

> [@smokeyburnouts](#): > > gas prices own me more than anyone on this board so:finger: oh yeah? 15 gallon tank x 16 tanks per month x $2.95/gal $708 per month in gasoline. In a korean shitbox. Fuck the capitalist pigs. Making obscene profits at the expense of the well-being of the working and middle classes is the catalyst for socialist uprising. ---

> [@77rednecktruck](#): > > :owned: by jealousy > > who fucking cares how much he makes, good for him. That’s the american dream. Yeah his dream is raping the rest of his own country of their money while he has an ungodlly amount that he couldn’t spend in 3 generations. As their profits rise GM Ford and Chrysler are lookin death in the face but you don’t see them helping their fellow Americans. There would be no need for gas if it wasn’t for the big three. If there is a hell that guy will be there…Look for his kids to be our future president. ---
