GREAT Days At The Pump

USA is in a mess no matter how you look at it. Common sense out the window. Right is wrong and wrong is right? We should have seen it coming when they started taking the pledge of alligiance and prayer out of the class room. This country is and will always be one nation under God.

Gas is around two and a half bucks around here for regular. I'm afraid to fill my tank. The top 3/4 is surely all rusted out by now.

My OL works for a Big Oil company.
They started asking if people would take packages and leave last week.
If they don't take the packages, After the 1st of the year. They will probably loose their job and get nothing.
This is for the CHEAP gas prices.
OPEC met with everybody. They tried to get OPEC to stop producing so much oil at one time. OPEC said no.
It cost opec like 25.00 a barrel to jab a stick in the sand and get a gallon of oil up.
It cost the people in the U.S. about 50-55 a gallon to jab a stick in the ground and git a gallon of oil up.
When the price gets too low. The smaller oil people here can't afford to sell oil.
Because the profit level has gone.
So the competition gets in a bind and gets bought out by larger companies.
Its gonna be felt all way across the board.
Car lots will have more cars that are not being bought. Cause you are gonna see more and more people losing their jobs.

Enjoy your time with cheap gas. Cause sooner or later you will feel the pain of things that will go up in price and people loosing their jobs more and more.
Hear this BS will go on till at least next summer.

that's how we live in Alberta. boom bust, just a way of life for us.

Y'all scream about all of that.
What is bad is for the Federal Government to borrow and take money for years for other projects from the SSI.
And folks coming from other countries getting to draw from it, when they have never paid in.
It shouldn't be allowed.

The government needs to be held accountable. Its not their money.

This is from the price of oil dropping below 60.00 a gallon.
The worst will happen if it keeps falling pretty soon.

You will see more and more people loosing their jobs.

Yep, gas is under $2 a gallon. Gotta love it!

When you see people loosing their homes and cars because they lost their jobs from Gas being so cheap.
Think how much you love it.
I seen it back in the 80's

It was terrible.
I went into pawn shops doing lockwork. Seeing machinest and everybodys tools.
Went into the Homes that they didn't even have the money to move their furniture and clothes out.
They lost their life savings trying to survice.
And they Had kids.
They got a bus ticket and had to go find family.

You know what you say is sad CB. But it's the circle of life. I lost my job due to the huge cost of oil back in 2008-9. Couldn't get back into my industry cause all the same companies were laying off and I had to take early SS

Had the same thing happen here in Calgary at the same time Houston got pounded by cheap oil. Interest rates were a lot higher then but homes were being sold for a dollar just so people could get out from being in a mortgage they couldn't pay. A lot of people got hurt bad. I never want to see 140 dollar oil ever again. I think that had a fair bit to do with the recession of 2008. I don't know if your economy could have functioned properly at 140 oil but up here it was unsustainable. something had to give. 80 dollars is a workable number

All economies move in cycles...We have to take the good with the bad...I have lost 4 jobs...Chit happens...Not much you can do about it except move on...Life sux at times...

Amen ! What did we all do when gasoline was less than a buck a gallon.

A buck at one time would fill my 350 Yamaha. Granted I'd only get 80 miles or so if I rode it hard.
