The term "state" is a frequent used way to speak of an entire country (as differentiated from our fifty states).
One example: Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State, not the Secretary of Government.

otoh, if people looked at profits from 2005, 2006 or 2007, the figures would noticeably be different. But it's not as sensationalistic, I guess..

well, if we look at last year's hyperinflated prices, it's no wonder everyone whines and screams and claws their way back to the top. After all, prices shouldn't be in the $80 or $90 range considering the excessive floating inventory in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Eastern and Western Seaboards.

So what's the problem? They still made 33% of the previous profit. That's more than most companies made during that period.

Looks like they will have to raise the price from the current 19 cents a gallon, but then who can afford that?

Gee, now isn't that such a bummer for PDVSA. Now they know how the customer feels when prices of gas go down and how happy we feel. They should not be sad but happy for the customer. What goes around comes around. Enjoy your 67% fall in prices PDVSA.
