the news reported correctly. Oil companies HAVE reported their biggest profits ever. And oil companies ARE responsible for the increase in price. And oil companies DO have control over how much/little they charge for the oil. And there are no oil shortages, and oil is being distributed just fine throughout our country.
Oil companies are making the same profit per gallon as they always haver.

When you compare 2021, when they were LOSING money to today, when the economy has reopened, of course there will be a large surge in profits...
