Yea idgaf. Gas is the cheapest it’s ever been in my driving lifetime, so I’m happy.

Is there any industry more arrogant and hypocritical than the oil industry

It’s the most heavily subsidized and propped up industry in America and they all hate Elon Musk some reason.

Trust me nobody in O&G with half a brain hates Elon Musk. He’s trying to burn fossil fuels in a less efficient way.

I understand what the OP is saying. But it’s arguably the most known and relatable commodity market.

I think just the opposite regarding the oil industry. I have never seen an industry get shite on by so many after producing a product that has revolutionized our world.
Just like threads on here trying to find products not made in China, I challenge anyone to get through a day without touching something made from petroleum-based products. I bet 90% of the people will do so within 15 minutes of waking up.
Stupid fricks like AOC want petroleum banned in the next 10 years. I guess battery-powered cars can eventually replace gasoline, but what is going to be used to replace the 50% of the car made from petroleum-based plastics?
For an industry that affects almost every aspect of our lives, the oil industry should be a lot more arrogant than it is.

How much has Tesla and these other “green” companies been subsidized?

No hate for insurance companies? Strong with the Dark Side of the Force those firms are.

I have a good friend in it with the most pretentious idiot wife I've ever known.
Of course she's never worked, drives a new SUV, spends money like crazy and anything you have she has one bigger and better. Everything they talk about is always money money money.

if you're happy that gas is cheap then you really don't how this country works.

I work upstream and make a decent living but I was also smart enough not to incur a lot of debt and live beyond my means. I could cover my bills on minimum wage if I had to. I'll be fine.

90% of this post was made possible by petroleum products. How ironic.
