I'll feed you baw. Volunteers don't make the determination on whether or not they get paid, there are times where service members don't get paid, like the fall of 2011. As to kids joining who have nothing else going for them, majority of the officers have a STEM degree or a degree worth a shite. As far as the enlisted kids go, it isn't their fault their parents failed them.

What does this mean? Why only at these levels?


Because oversupply doesn't explain the entire price move. I've showed you all of the charts and laid out the broader issue but you folks act like I'm in here knighting for $120 oil.

Oversupply tells the story of why oil has fallen to the 40s and 50s, and I've got no problem with that. However, the most recent - read last month or so- has been because of concern over slowing DEMAND worldwide. The broader market has basically moved in lockstep with oil the last few weeks and yet peoplle want to tell me how good cheap oil is for everyone.

For the past few weeks if oil is down then the market is down. Why do you think that is?

WTI Crude currently sitting @ $29.49. Currently down 5.5% on fears of supply glut as Iran will soon be flooding the market.

I wonder if this is a small thing or will blossom into a huge thing?

I've mentioned China plenty before, hence global slowdown.

Oil down 5% this morning and S&P down nearly 2%. Why do you think that us? Isn't the narrative cheaper oil is bad for LA/TX/ND but good for everyone else?

The people in this thread cheering on low gas prices don't see the correlation between the stock market getting hammered and these prices. I'm more afraid of a global recession than ever before. This is crazy.

You are a fool if you think OPEC will not manipulate the price again after their agenda is met. They are losing shite tons of money too. It's not a matter of if the price will go back up its a matter of when.

Yea but I'm saving $50 a month on gas!

But milk and airline fares are still high as giraffe pussy for some reason. I though this cheap gas was going to make everything so cheap.

Just wanted to add, they are expecting a 12% loss globally. You guys cheering can't see the bigger picture here. This is scary.
