Why do the layoffs have to have a long term effect? Are the people in the oil industry not capable of finding work in another field? I used to be a cable TV contractor making really good money. But it got to the point that there were more contractors looking to work than the cable companies needed. The cable companies were able to use that to cut the amount we were making in half. I got out of cable contracting and got into computer network cabling. My point is that when I couldn't make a living in my line of work, I found another line of work. Oil workers can do the same.

I'm talking about the oil field workers where most of the cuts are being made as far as percentages of job loss. I know plenty of friends who have been doing that and I am very sorry their high school education didn't give them job security while I raked up student debt.

Yep, that's precisely what I said. Jesus Christ. If you can't concede that the oil sector is a major employer in our country and when it tanks it effects a lot of people then I'll just agree to disagree.

That was the next point, higher gas prices raise the cost of everything due to shipping costs. So the savings are not just at the pump but across the board.

Sure it does. It is also causing every consumer in America to save money. Other businesses profit because of this. Other jobs are created. These people in the oil industry sure can get other jobs right? RIGHT?!

Citizens and businesses have a little extra cash in their pockets to get projects they've been putting off done. Lower fuel prices allows the contractors to price that work cheaper, ensuring more of those new bid requests turn into work. This has a huge positive effect. Of course, the huge corporations will just continue business as usual. Refusing to pass savings on to customers, making the economic drive solely demand driven, and they'll selfishly pocket every penny of savings for their investors. |

I don't understand why shipping prices haven't went down. (Actually, I understand fully)
They are some gouging pieces of shit. Especially Beaver Express. |

![]() Yes, Beaver Express is a real company, and although their name is awesome, their rates most certainly are not. |
