Most of the Left that are always bleating about the profits haven't ever worked for themselves or a small company so they don't know how little profit one makes....and Billions sound like a lot, until one takes into consideration the HUGE cost of drilling rigs drilling down 5 miles to the ocean floor, then perhaps as much again down through the floor to get to the oil....not to mention the 'little problem' involved with getting it to the service, and then onto a platform anchored in the ocean....onto ships and etc etc etc.
