Shell's taking in $3M AN HOUR - OBSCENE

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY OBSCENE...!
The oil giant, which reported the biggest annual profits in UK corporate history in February, said its income had risen by 42% to $6.7bn (£3.5bn) in the period. [...] The income figure meant Shell made profits of about £1.6m an hour during the quarter.

at today's exchange rate, £1.6m an hour looks like this in u.s. dollars...

1,600,000.000 GBP = 3,053,609.893 USD
