Seriously...
The way you write one would think everyone is on the same playing field and it is what it is...

The price of fuel will tip the scale...EVERYTHING will be affected. Construction, food, shipping...It's not just about me car pooling with the neighbor or using my scooter.

Most financial institutions, such as commercial banks, are routinely more profitable than Exxon Mobil was in its third quarter. For example, Exxon Mobil's gross margin of 9.8 cents of profit for every dollar of revenue pales in comparison to Citigroup Inc.'s 15.7 cents in 2004. By percentage of total revenue, banking is consistently the most profitable industry in America, followed closely by the drug industry.
