I'm not denying that the state isn't hurt over the low oil prices, but everyone in industry still has to file their taxes and submit their financials at the end of the day right?
Even the healthcare industry sees big revenue drops during economic downturns. I'm not necessarily referring to coronavirus either. They hurt in 2008-2009 like most other industries. There aren't many that are immune.

I chose an industry that provides more stability. I went to college to get to where I am, and they didn't. That doesn't make me any better than them, nor them any better than me. It just is what it is.
