Saw this article then started wondering how gas stations rank, and I noticed some are very heavy into spending money on lobbyists. Check out the government influence column.

Source link is at the bottom for gas station responsibility ranking to know what you're supporting at the pump.

"The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP Amoco and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths.


But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation."

Marathon and Ashland are American companies. Money spent there goes to US jobs. They explore and drill oil here, refine it here, sell it here.
Not sure which other companies are American companies on the list off the top of my head.

Interesting list for sure. I would like to see more data on why they are ranked how they are though. (such as all companies start at 100, then what the deductions are based on)

I am suprised BP doesn't get an F rating.

I think it's safe to say the ones dumping millions to coerce govt policies are the ones to avoid like the plague.

At this point in time supporting them with patronage is probably a lot like like shooting yourself in the foot.
