Agree. Problem is that the ‘boom’ you hear now is the shock wave from gas prices, inflation, and the poor economic outlook. When those items return to where they were in 2015/16 then we see about trying to maximize oil company profits.
To be clear, it’s not the oil company’s (or ANY company’s) job to do anything except maximize return for shareholders. If you want them to do something that’s not in their economic interest (such as provide relief to the population), you have to change policy in a way to incentivize them to do so.
