I'm not in the O&G industry but my company is relocating my family and I from lft to Houston because our business is really struggling here after the downturn.

No, some people drive their cars just to look at Christmas lights.

Positively affected by lower delivery charges, hauling fees and fuel costs for business vehicles. Trying to set a little back now for the inevitable point of increase in gas and oil prices that will come when the lobbyists succeed in convincing everyone in power that high prices are good for America.

A doctor's office I do IT work for cut way back because of the downturn (less insured patients), along with several other customers. It's affecting more than the Oilfield Trash Baws. It's not too hard to see the big picture.

Best customers are the ones that are government/grant funded. Now, and back during the last recession, they never have to cut back.

Probably not much money at risk here.

You don't even know what you don't know.

Wealthy folks don't worry about salaries, they have proceeds from trusts and investments.

There's at least several folks here who drive a vehicle worth more than your house. Don't be stupid in betting someone you don't know. You've already shown yourself to not be wise.

Laid off from Schlumberger (wireline oilfield services) earlier this year. I was married and wifey made sure every dime was spent that I saved for times like this. It hasn't been good.....

Already happened this past week when everyone thought it was a good idea to send domestic oil overseas.

Isn't the best for my company. Not many companies wants to invest in LNG fueling, when diesel is cheap. Luckily that's a smaller portion of our business.

Anyone who wants to use their income as their net worth usually is not impressive at either.


It is like bragging about the cash in your pocket to a trust fund baby with a black card.
