It would take 1.33 million bobs to equal the same cost that shell takes in. Each bob has a family of roughly 4 including bob, feeding 5.33 million people. The kids in the family are able to pay attention in school bc they are well fed and bob is able to hunt for a better job since he doesn't have two jobs to make sure his family doesn't starve.
Shell is definitely worth the expense, plus Exxon, and even non oil companies like spaceX/Tesla subsidies that are rarely generating value for the taxpayers who funded it.
Bobs family is not fed well on $1500/yr
<$200/mo groceries for a family of 4?
It's 1500 extra which can help make ends meet
