How Evil is Exxon-Mobil?

fireball is correct ... paragraphs could not express the general cluelessness most exhibit in either the real economics or the sham politics surrounding it. "it' the jobs, stupid" (oh wait; there are no jobs unless you want to commute to Chennai or Bejing, altho i heard that facemasks are hot in China...).

regarding an earlier observation about IndyMac and schumer's role in that debacle...he criticizes wall street for "rumor and innuendo" and its manipulative effect on stock prices, yet his sky-is-falling rhetoric on IndyMac produced a $4B-to-$8B bailout from FDIC that, oh by the way, can only do about 10 more such bailouts before it runs out of the fractional reserves it has for the fractional banking system.
schumer is a poster child of all that is wrong in congress and yes, he gives the arkansas twister credibility...
