Yeah, but you'll still be using services without paying for them. Someone else will.

You on the other hand.....
My comment wasn't about you personally. It was in regards to your comment about the end of the oil boom.

FWIW, the economy I'm in doesn't rely on oil exploration directly. Indirectly everything around you is dependent on oil and its feedstocks.

Odd that you somehow managed to place yourself above all of that while at the same time typing on your plastic computer talking about riding around in your plastic car on asphalt roads probably clothed in synthetic fibers.

I thought you were taking a shot at me.

Anywhooo...again, we've had domestic oil busts before and life went on. Life will go on when the next bust occurs.

And I'll have a plastic car that drives on asphalt roads, with my plastic computer and I'll be sharp as a tack..dressed to the nines in clothing...maybe with synthetic fibers.

So...you know.
