    **** YOU and **** the oil companies.

    You cant vote out the RRC because too many DUMB ASS Republicans live in this state. They have been convinced Trump is GOD and Abbott is he disciple. Look at that ******* Patrick, willing to sacrifice people for the economy. **** him, you, and ****ING Republican in this country. I hope ALL OF THEM lose their houses, cars, and swallow a bullet when they go to the poor house.

    If your goal was to come out looking like a fool, then mission accomplished.

    It didn’t work. I happen to know a lot about this and have been screamed at by far more intelligent idiots than you.

    You know nothing, and you’re loud about it. Turns out you’re no better than the person you hate, Donald J. Trump. Good day to you.

    Oh, I don't? Well, let's see. They b****ed under Obama because he wasn't their guy. However, Obama allowed them to expand enough to become the World's largest oil producer (US). This included the "lean" years for Drillers around 2013...when the country was still recovering from 2008. When Trump was elected, they thought they could Maximize Rig counts because he was "their guy" and Oil prices would magically rise and keep gas prices between a certain level and Oil Prices between $80-$100. What they fail to realize Trump doesn't care about anyone and he is a shitty leader....that LIES ALOT. Oil Companies thought they could get access to various oil fields that have been off limits....and the good times would continue. Trump's lack of leadership and he is dedicated to HIMSELF, caused the shutdown of the country with his lack of preparedness and awareness. So focus on re-election and how re-acting to this virus would look on him as President, he didn't see the train coming down the tracks that people around him was screaming was coming. His inaction, caused...directly and indirectly the oil crash. Oil companies refusals to cut production (greed) was another factor.

    Now, Drilling companies are "STACKING" (hmmm, where did I get that term?) Rigs left and right...trying to stay afloat. Laying off or transferring works to other Rigs....hoping to keep enough of their experienced Rig Managers, Drillers, Floor, and Motormen to ride this out.

    Am I close?

    No, not remotely. Your quick Google search was a waste of time. Just to throw you a bone, you’ve made a lot of assumptions about what I think that aren’t true. 1. I don’t support flaring 2. I don’t think the shale business model is sustainable in most cases (there are exceptions) 3. What’s good for the micro is bad for the macro

    LOL...ok. No google search needed. You know I know what I'm talking about. Their arrogance is their downfall.

    I could tell you the Drilling companies I'm familiar with, but I won't. Still pisses me off that they burn off All that Natural Gas.........because they can't make money off it. It is like those farmers pouring out milk...when people are lined up for food handouts.

    You’re mad, but you don’t understand what you’re mad about. There’s a big mixture of things that you’ve mentioned, many of them oversimplified or missing the point completely. You don’t have the whole story. Politics doesn’t play as big of a role in all of this as you think.

    Of course there are other factors, but it always comes down to GREED, to maximize that shareholder value.

    Look...I don’t want anyone to lose their job, especially because the Executives that need to...are not the ones that will.

    There will be a lot of collateral damage in the oil industry. Big Oil will be fine. Many of the smaller companies that make up the support infrastructure will fail and that will be the tragedy.

    Its a pretty massive story. We could very well be heading into a depression.

    Thanks, Trump! The time you wasted ignoring the “Hoax” ruined “The best economy in the history of the world!”. Always knew you would implode.
