“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

Obviously oil producers that can't still sell their product will have better profit margins if prices increase, that's not the problem with Iran war.
A global rise of energy prices will cause far more problems than any downstream effect of increased oil prices could ever hope to offset even in a theoretical utopia with perfect humanitarian wealth distribution.

BP stands for British petroleum.
And even if it were an American company — You wouldn't actually see any of that cash.
What makes mutts so para social towards their corporations?
It's like companies are goddamn e girl streamers to them.
