Macondo blowout was in April 2010, oil had rebounded nicely before then.





It was a bad time..the oil spill saved companies from going bankrupt.

oh yeah we're not going to see all of that money that we were supposed to. even if it's half, it's still going to be massive

even if it's 1/10, we're still going to be much better off than what more service-oriented areas like laffy will face

Oil refining will still be going in full force, right?

I mean, people are going to buy MORE oil-derived products when it's cheaper.

I feel sorry for the investors that have been building all of those RV parks and man camps. Laffy isn't too far of a drive to justify paying $600 per month for a PoS 1 bedroom cabin like the ones they're building in Vinton.

If I had a clothing store here I would stock up on Affliction shirts and bedazzled jeans.
