I understand the disdain for Pitbulls, school teachers, Democrats, travel ball baseball, etc.

But why do so many posters on here take shots at the good people of the Oil & Gas industry? There are a few jackasses but most of them are ordinary people who actually want to work but are just victims of unfortunate circumstances

Have you studied sociology?

There must always be a caste to look down upon

Ppl shtt on plant baws too much. They forget most 3rd party businesses depend on providing support for work within those facilities.

Probably b/c of the plant operators didn't have to drown themselves in college debt while making $100K/yr.

There are a lot posters that have nothing more in life than to try and disparage some group on this site. It’s pretty sad. Just see the disdain for the list you gave.

Keep in mind these are the same asses that are so excited to get the stimulus check. Down vote away you pissants!

Many of us make too much money for a stimulus.

Because they are Neanderthals, stuck in a bygone era with no vision to the future (energy sources). They are speculationists who talk big when times are good and shrivel up when times are bad.

Because they make over 100k with a high school diploma.

Anyone working in a volatile industry like oil&gas needs to expect down turns like this. Any stock market speculators or commodity traders are in the same economic boat. Save money in the good times and hope you can ride out the bad times.

Everyone on the OT makes high 6 figures, drives a $100,000 vehicle and has a mansion. Roughnecks don’t fit the lifestyle.

Jealousy from people with a degree residing within a 50k a year cubicle.

Its jealousy. Jealousy. Has jealousy been mentioned?

I can see your point I guess. Truancy, becoming a teen father and a few drug possession charges can make a guy turn to the Patch when life deals a bad card.

Because people get jealous of folks. I have a lot of friends in oil, all good guys and hard working. Not my kind of work or life style, but they do it well. Times are tough and I feel for them. Never felt jealous of them in good or bad times.

I am a teacher. Never understood the disdain of us. Some are bad, like any occupation, but that is what it is. Some perks are great some are not. I think there is balance in the life and that many folks dont understand the negatives and just constantly focus on Summers off and other aspects.

I've never said anything negative about them - but their love of high gas prices and shouting down those celebrating low gas prices is tiresome and comes across as very selfish.

I would imagine that's part of the stigma.
