There’s a simple way to take a bite out of Exxon-Mobile’s profits… don’t buy gasoline from them! There are plenty of other companies out there you can buy gas from in most cases. USE THEM, NOT EXXON-MOBILE!!
the world’s largest food, health and nutrition company — Nestle — only (”only”) had $10B or so in revenues for the entire year. i emphasize “revenues,” not profits.

the #2 and #3 oil companies also banked profits of around $8B and $10 in the second quarter. again, some emphasis: “profits.”
