I would like to add that the money Bob gets to buy food returns directly into the economy, thus helping to pay Kevin the mall manager AND Floyd the country boy
Shut up about Bob, how does this even remotely help Shell??!
Depends on Bob’s car I guess?
I mean, Bob needs food to survive long enough to buy some gasoline. Bob won’t buy Shell’s gasoline if he dies.
It seems Bob needs better lobbyists
Bob can’t afford food. =/
Then I guess bob’s not affording lobbyists then.
Food either, considering.
Hey I’m sure if we find a reason to look hard enough there is a reason to kick down on Bob, or whatever reason the law needs. Shell makes JOBS, bob just … ugh… works. Not real ‘owner’ energy bob.
But but but fudge rounds, muh taxes are paying for fudge rounds for poor people that’s the problem hurr durr.
But shell makes jobs for a million Bobs! And then Bobs are doing something useful for society! /s
bob still needs those 1500 in food stamps while working 15h week… the system works, for a few…
It also bears noting that Shell is not a person
In Freedumbland Shell absolutely would be a person.
:(
Legally speaking, leider ja. But we don’t have to accept that framing just because it says so on the piece of American
toilet paperlegal parchment that is Citizens United
If Shell stops getting it from the government, they’ll just raise prices for us to make up the difference. They won’t be hitting their bottom line anytime soon
If they’ve been subsidised so much, the company should just be made a public entity rather than just stopping the funding.
I thought Americans were all about free market. Other companies and alternatives will come in and undercut shell if that happens.
They’ll raise prices regardless. The government handouts are just extra profits for what is already one of the most profitable industries in the history of mankind.
Ava then we get to party even more money at the pump when they feel like charging more. Despite us subsidizing them.
So let’s stop subsidizing oil.
