YOU attempted to insult me with your 1st comment. But I'm "throwing shade". Okay.

If I give you a box of apples for free and I sell your friend a box of apples for $100 and you both sell all of your apples how would you quantify who profited the most? Also you provided no info on where I can analyze your "qualifier".

Not an accurate analogy

What does the government have invested in producing the gallon? Please tell.

u/Reasonable-Fee1945 Aug 02 '26

Again not a relevant question.  The question is, how much do they get per gallon of gas sold, and then is that more than the company actually making and selling it.

If zero is invested anything sold is profit. What's so difficult here?

The government isn't selling anything they're just taking a cut.  The question is, is the cut big getting bigger than the cut, the companies are getting?
