Halliburton. Bechtel Group. The Shaw Group, etc. Not too damned hard to connect the dots- I'm not saying you're not smart enough to, you simply won't. Or, if you do, you make excuses and indicate that is just the way of the big, bad business wolrd- laissez faire, and all that. Gets very, very old, and my apologies for taking out my frustration on you as I know you have nothing to personally do with it, but as I indicated earlier- people are getting pissed and getting less shy about saying so.

Well, now it isn't that I can't see it, it's that I won't see it. I still disagree. It's that I see it differently. You see excuses. I see reasons.
You are obviously among the pissed. I am not (about this issue). |

Hmmm....evidence? Not to try to be insulting, because I really don't want to be, but you have no concept of the oil commodities market or how it works.

Edited to add: I do not claim to know all of the numerous complexities of a commodities market, particularly the most complex, being oil. |
