Shell Announce Yearly Profits

They're publicly traded. Stock holders saw those gains as well.

 

Unfortunately the people whose pockets fuel rises hit hardest, don't tend to be shareholders

 

I used to make those kind of excuses too. You only need a couple hundred bucks to get started.

 

I wasn't talking about myself, I'm well sorted.

 

I wasn't referring to you.

 

I suspect the majority of small time share holders won’t get back on their share stocks what the fuel price hikes are doing to the cost of living, but then again, every little helps.

 

Try as you may, you will never excuse or blame your way into wealth. It's an unfair world. Deal with it.

Multi-millionaire bourgeois and Fortune 500 CEO's haven't taken a dime from me. The government has robbed me blind at every opportunity.

Can't speak for the UK, but as to the US- over half you pricks allegedly voted for this decrepit jackass and that immediately double gas prices and we got empty shelves at the grocery stores now. I planned ahead so I'm good. More than good. I have no sympathy for anyone suffering from the choices they made in DC last year. None. You did it to yourselves. Suck it.

But by all means keep blaming the suits on Wall St and Jeff Bezos for your financial woes. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

 

For all those of us that have private pensions, don't forget that your contributions are invested in companys such as Shell.

 

Depends whether they are part of your portfolio, many funds do not invest in fossil fuels and many focus on renewables

 

I’d say more do than don’t. “Renewables” aren’t exactly the most profit-proven enterprises these days.

But even if they were does it matter? Would you prefer to make some wind turbine tycoon mega-rich over some oil baron?

 

I don't have any say where my pensions are invested. I could invest in "ethical" funds but that doesn't necessarily make financial sense.

 

No point moaning about fuel price rises or any other.....there absolutely nothing we can do so just enjoy the good things in life....good health and riding your bike

 

Exactly.

Look at the bright side- Triumphs get pretty good gas mileage. For the year after I got mine the money I saved riding to work instead of driving covered 1/2 my bike payment. So those savings covered over 10% of my balance.

Then Sleepy Joe’s policies kicked in and a tank of gas went from $6 to over $13.
