When I go to their stations to buy gas, I get exactly the good they

That is as much trustworthyness I can reasonably expect. This is
unlike politicians, policy makers, and bureaucrats. If politicians
and bureaucrats actually do deliver goods, it always something they've
seized at the end of a gun barrel from some unlucky sap. It wasn't
their's to deliver.

Exxon can be trusted to sell petrol at the advertised price, from gas
stations carrying the Exxon-Moboil label.

When they sell anti-global warming propaganda, they do it through
front organisations. Check out

Initially Shell and BP were also sceptical about global warming, and
their staff scientists were up front about it, but when the scientific
evidence became unambiguous the Shell and BP scientists accepted it
and the company managements didn't go over to subsidising the denial
industry.
