A lot of people in the oil industry are losing their jobs. If it bothers OP to listen to it then he needs to tune it out and quit being a douche bag and making posts about it. I hope everyone bitching about listening to people bitch about losing their job, loses their job.

oil is projected to be $50 next year - no one is predicting its going to stay this low, so for the short term this is great for the consumer.

that is my only point, making a doomsday prediction, like youre attempting, is pointless.


Fair enough, but I'm not making a doomsday prediction. I'm just trying to educate people on what even lower gas prices will entail. Obviously I've got no clue what will happen, neither do you, but the last 3 weeks should help people understand what is happening in energy and, more importantly, why it is happening.

It isn't that $20/bbl is good for America and $100/bbl is bad, or vice versa. However, all else being equal, $20/bbl is the result of things that are NOT good for America and $60-$100/bbl are the result of things that are good for us.

$50 next year is optimistic


I would say closer to immpossible than optimistic. We will see.

If we get back to $50 that means we won they price war, I don't think it is likely that happens.

Definitely not according to the people I talk to. They're projecting 2018 turnaround at the earliest.

You really should have forseen building a house below sea level was not going to last forever and been better prepared. Perhaps a rainy day fund would have helped.



In fairness, the freaking Speaker of the House at the time more or less said that.

Yep, and he was just as big a a-hole douchbag as the OP.

It's bad enough that I'm about to lose my job, but then I've lost 15% of my retirement on top of that

If you have read enough of his post the likelyhood of him having a 401k account hover around my odds of winning the powerball.

I've seen "predictions" from people presumably in the know all over the place on that point.

Why do you feel it would take that long and why is there such a wide disparity in forecasts?

I'm pretty sick of it too. It's usually women that don't work that are bitching bc their uneducated husbands have gotten laid off, and now they have to look for a job to help support the family.

One of them posted this on fb today.

I asked you in the other thread but you ignored it, so I'll ask it here again:

What is the logical difference in telling someone you don't have any sympathy for them because they're in a volatile career field and telling someone you don't have any sympathy for them because they chose to live in a city that is under sea level and in one of the most vulnerable areas to hurricane damage?

I'm not arguing the scale of the events, but there is no difference in the logic. Everyone involved had a choice and should have been well aware of the risks involved. One group gets your sympathy and the other gets a "frick you" from many on this board.
