Things That Make You Go Hmmm....Who Cut One?

So Exxon has a record windfall of profits this quarter, but GM, who builds cars that run on gas, lost over $15B. I'm sure a 7th grade Econ whiz could explain to me how one doesn't mean anything to the other, but it seems odd to me.

Nobody's buying cars. People drove 6 billion less miles last month. And Exxon still sets a record for profits.

The conflux of these two things make me feel like Joseph when the Virgin Mary told him she was pregnant: suspicious.
