Just in case you're keeping score, "big oil" makes money, and feeds a whole lot more to the economy while it's being subsidized.
But you're right, they don't streamline. That's why we didn't just see Devon and Encana come out with sweeping layoffs and cuts to less-than-profitable ventures. Oh. Wait....
If you don't think answering to shareholders, board members, and profit margins as high as possible forces "big oil" to streamline their own businesses I'm not going to bother.
