The 145 Largest US Oil & Gas Companies Total Pretax Earnings Dropped Completely Off-the-Cliff in Both of the Two Most Recent Quarters ..... From Total Pretax Income in the March 2019 Quarter of $25 Bil to Total Pretax Losses of $111 Bil in the March 2020 Quarter ..... And From Total Pretax Income of $28 Bil in the June 2019 Quarter to Total Pretax Losses of $44 Bil in the June 2020 Quarter ..... The Reason the Total Pretax Losses in the June 2020 Quarter Were So Much Lower Than Those in the March 2020 Quarter Was Because There Were Substantially More Asset Impairment Earnings Charges Taken in the March 2020 Quarter and Thus the Oil & Gas Properties and Goodwill Assets Were Already Substantially Written Down When Testing For Asset Impairments in the June 2020 Quarter ... Not Exactly a Positive Reason. If Not For the Massive US Oil & Gas Companies Bailouts in the Extremely Expensive CARES Act and By the US Fed, At Least 25% of These 145 US Oil & Gas Companies Would Have Filed For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

From a review of Company SEC filings and Google Finance, I found 145 US Oil & Gas Companies which had a stock market cap of more than $100 mil in early June 2020.

With such absolutely horrific Oil & Gas Companies losses of $155 bil in the first half of 2020, it is going to take a very long time for the US economy to recover and for the US unemployment rate to drop down to a reasonable level. 

Further, depending on US Government actions, the US Debt will grow by $7 trillion to $10 trillion this year and will continue to grow by $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion per year for many subsequent years.

Suffice it to say that we older people have really screwed the younger generation economically.  They understand this completely and that is one of the main reasons they are peacefully protesting so intensely and angrily and will continue doing so for a much longer time than the older people realize.


The table below shows the Gold-Standard US GAAP Pretax Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the second and first quarters of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 145 largest US Oil & Gas Companies.
