Ten million from Exxon would have made them look good.A half million makes them look worse than if they had given nothing at all.

Uh, so businesses are supposed to “look good” by handing out freebies of “$10million or more”? May be just the successful ones need to do that. The failed ones need gubmint bailout.

Exxon has gotten clobbered this year due to the oil price crash (going on two years now), and they are doing all they can do to still pay their dividends - to retirees that are counting on them. $500k from their bottom line to help Louisiana should be commended and not ridiculed.

I understand the Exxon Baton Rouge refinery is flooded. That is a top ten producing refinery, I believe. So they are hurting, too.
