Aramco pays nearly $100B in dividends as profits tumble
- BugsJustFindMe 3y agoI'm as against obscene payouts to executives as anyone, but something about the reporting language bothers me. "as profits tumble"..."second highest [ever] reported". Oh no! They TUMBLED to almost the highest they've ever been! I don't know what to do with this juxtaposition. Does it mean they're anticipating further decline? Does it mean absolutely nothing at all and is just there to fill space?
- bevekspldnw 3y agoI think “war making the price of oil go up” was their “zero interest rate phenomena”.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoDon't people want profits of mega corps to fall? Don't dividends come out of profits? It seems like these are just exclamatory comments, disconnected from any reference philosophy or context
