what a disaster

[informashun]

todays business news says
shell profits hit
after a drop in oil prices this company only made �22 billion pounds profit.
should we ask the unemployed to have a whip round for them.
honestly, talk about perspective

I expect your pension fund has a stake in Shell, Informashun. How fortunate then they will help to keep you in readies in your old age.

Please try to understand what profit is, before making stupid comments like that. And who are "them"? The directors don't trouser this money personally. It is used to pay shareholders dividends and for investment in the future through capital projects. Businesses have to make profits to survive.
