						Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Homer: "Bart...there's 2 things I know about women. Never give them nicknames like "jumbo" or "boxcar" and always keep receipts...it makes you look like a business man."

A couple fun infographics I saw this morining
In 1904 Standard controlled 91% of oil production and 85% of final sales in the US
These are just the biggest results of that split. Standard was actually broken in to 34 companies. Other notables: Pennzoil (now under Shell), Vaseline (Unilever), and Union Tank Car Company (Berkshire Hathaway)

Also, the global oil market is worth about $1.72T a year compared to $660B for all metals and minerals combined.
