I didn't realize people can't do a 10 second google search on their own. 🙄

Net income isn't the whole story anyways, especially when this article points out that one of their costs is lobbying for a cause that isn't necessary. They're raking in billions of dollars every year.

"just Google it, bro" is never a source.

Not my fault you aren't capable of typing 4 words into a search engine.

It's not a 'source', bud.

You specifically chose to quote a sentence about profit and then provide a number that is not profit. What was the point of commenting at all if the number you provided had no relevance?

My quote:

profitability

Your misinformed quote:

profit
