People suck at using context, they only look at numbers, especially large numbers.
Remember: it takes people spending unwisely for companies to make absurd profits. If you don't support these companies making that kind of money, don't buy from them. I don't buy overpriced Apple products that line Apple's pockets with cash, like you can choose to take the electric bus rather than buy gas and oil products.

the poorer you are, the less options you have. The rich have all the options. If I'm poor, I can't afford electric buses. I feel helpless, and I'm going to take it out on the people that fucked it up for me.
This doesn't address the issue that Oil Companies/Banks etc manipulate the markets so make those profits. Again, when you are producing record profits due to tax and policies that drive wages down while other people are laid off or unemployed, people will be pissed.
companies rather have workers working for minimum wage and 60 hours + a week. More profits, but less employees.
