[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1608362, member: 4319"] Indeed. RidgeHunter pontificates on the economy for _CY_: 1. The economy, as it's presented to us, is fake. 2. I thoroughly believe that large corporations and their buddies the government are evil, I just refuse to believe that "Big Oil" is inherently more evil than any other large industry, and that they are responsible for every wrong since Jesus died. 3. If your economy can be rocked by price fluctuations of a non-renewable, limited resource with a [I][U]decades long history of instability[/U][/I], your economy sucked in the first place. 4. Sadly, since none of us have our "screw you money", we are forced to suckle at the teat of big business. Deal with it. Here in Oklahoma, especially in Tulsa, it's the oil and natural gas industry. It really cracks me up when I hear a Tulsan bitching about the oil and gas industry. Our entire local economy has historically, and still is, based around the petroleum industry. If you participate in any economic activity in Oklahoma, you are in the oil business. It's literally all we have (besides airplanes), and it's all that has kept our economic head above water time and time again. [/QUOTE]
