Reply #20: my brother-in-law works in the Gulf of Mexico

on oil rigs. Oil workers are pissed-off because the companies are still capping good wells. And they are laying off the workers. I guess they can buy oil cheaper somewhere else. I'm sure they'll claim that they have to raise their prices because of OPEC this summer. Instead of admitting that they put themselves in the position by laying-off US workers so they can buy more from foreigners. The option of taking less profit per barrel doesn't occur to these rich jerks.
