No, I'm in healthcare...but my net worth has decreased as has everyone's....people celebrating oil's demise are fools. We are all losing on its decline.

I'm in Logistics and freight brokerage. Gas prices has a direct effect on my company. Honestly, when gas prices are up.. we make a shite ton of money. Now with them being down, only marginal profits. I enjoy it when I pay at the pump. That's about it. Food is still through the roof and my trucks haul produce. The mark up at the store is retarded. Just going to leave that there.

JennBN totally gets it. I'd much rather pay a buck more for gas and let it have the "trickle down" effect.

I'm sorry you lost money, but this isn't true.

GreatLakes....are you saying oil's decline hasn't directly impacted the whole economy?

You freight brokers and ripping people off with the fuel surcharge. You are scum. Glad I cleaned myself up and left that industry. Scummier than car salesmen

Oh yeah? The state just cut out TOPS and you can bet your income taxes will be going up soon due to the drop in oil and gas tax money.
