A good friend of mine was in this wave of 5000 and yes he does drive a big truck but it's not a f250. Sucks for his family.

Why does it suck for his family that it is not an F-250?

At least he saw the plight of all the others that were laid off before and saved his money, right?

Thank you for saying this.

It's only because of their unfulfilled lives can they finally find this temporary enjoyment while others suffer.

They will never be at peace...trust me.

I hate to hear people losing their jobs. But Halliburton is fricking evil.

Why should I feel bad for them, no one felt bad for me when gas was $3/gallon and I had a 130 mile daily commute! This is what they get for having jobs in such an incredibly volatile industry, just look at the 1980s, no one should work in O&G or they deserve this.

GFY. No one deserves this a-hole

ETA: How would you make your 130 mile daily commute if it weren't for the O&G industry?
