That is not much. That's less than their increase of net earnings from last year.

Jesus Christ man.
This is what's wrong with America. You're not thinking of the shareholders.
DOJ will give Chevron $1b for their consultation on the clean up.

Is that even a meaningful amount of money to Chevron? These lawsuits need to start being measured in percentages of the company's value rather than fixed dollar amounts. Ruin a coastline? We're taking at least 20% of your company.
