If You Are PLanning To Fill The Gas Tank....

Average incomes have gone up approximately 500% since 1970. In that same span, however, the cost of basic household goods has gone up 482%, the cost of a four year education has gone up 994%, and the cost of an average home has gone up 917%.

Luckily I can make up for it by saving my extra gas money each month. Thank ya, mista boss man.

Pay the bills and feed the kids first, OK?

Who needs a living wage when you can have cheap gas for a short while every decade or so?

You might need to trade up to a more reliable car first so you can get to class or work on time too.

Listening to to O&G industry folks cry about folks not being by their side right now is like listening to a newly penniless sugar daddy crying about his gold digging trophy wife leaving him because he went broke.

I do have my eye on a new $50k pickup. I need something to tow the toyhauler with.

Maybe the oil companies could fund a job retraining program during times when oil exceeds a certain threshold like say $100 and then laid off workers could retrain.
Works for lots of other fields.
Just an idea.

Listening to people cheer about the short-term effects of an oil slump reminds me very much of typical anti labor union rhetoric. Someone slightly less poor than you stole your cookie!

Which is typical for OSA as a whole but not for some of the cheerleaders in this thread.

Works for OSA libertarians when they have storm damage.

I guess we can add to the list; consumer goods,machinery and tooling, entertainment, luxury goods, restaurant and hospitality, airlines and travel, real estate and technology as industries where if workers lose their job due to the cyclical nature we can not feel sorry for them.

Oh wait, when those industries are in the bust cycle we typically don't benefit. Nevermind. Mah Bad.
