Darn economy!

[Slick Fork]

Not saying you're less worthy of employment then anybody else, I feel bad for anybody who's been laid off or who's job is on the line. I've been there and it sucks.

What I have trouble with though, is the oil and gas industry in general screaming about how tough they have it when a few years ago they would've been thrilled with the money per barrel they're getting now. Especially when the cost to fuel up my truck hasn't gone down with the price of oil. Oil and Gas spent the last few years running roughshod over the province not giving a rats ass about the people who's land and lives they were rolling over and now they expect us to feel badly for them when the price of oil drops to more realistic levels.

I'm not so naive to believe that we can do without oil anytime soon, but I'm not going to say I'm sorry to see it slow down a little. And I do mean that with the utmost sympathy for anybody who loses a job over it.
