See this is the kind of silliness I can't stand. I'm sure you are just doing your thing because this is the OT, but most of oil and gas is not those kind of baws.
I get it that it's the normal thing to throw out there, but it's not true.


The ones I know that live in the Houston area all make bank. They will be fine, and they will be making great money again next month if they aren't still.

And many divisions within even this big boys will be losing their asses off for the rest of the year unless a drastic rise in demand and a huge drop in oil inventories takes place.

Okay, subsidized was the wrong word to use. Let's just lump them all together and call them "financial enhancements."

Still waiting for specific examples.

I had a nurse Karen on FB asking for prayers for "our oil workers" because she married one. I quickly pointed out how people panicking over a flu hasn't helped the oil industry.

I don't see any problem with this. We need oil, whether you like it or not. Petroleum E&P is massively expensive and risky. These incentives don't cost the government a penny and they make petroleum E&P actually possible. Without them, the risk involved in drilling would be prohibitively expensive for everyone but Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and a handful of others.

So you, what, googled “oil tax breaks”? That’s about what I expected. You’re just talking out of your arse.

The only reason those deductions are specific to the oil & gas industry is that they are expenses which don’t exist outside of the oil & gas industry. Oil & gas companies can write off exploration costs just like a pharmaceutical company can write off R&D. They serve the same purpose.
