Im just saying that there is cause and effect and taking away $4Billion is going to have a massive effect that some people don’t realize. If we can create new industry/products, ect. to offset the job market that would be awesome and Im all for sticking it to the oil companies. > > Oh and us as the consumers sticking it to the opil companies by not buying big trucks and using less gas just showed us that it cost over 20,000 people their jobs. Which is 20,000 people that have less money to buy other commodities to support other business not related to oil. That’s all im saying… not buying trucks means that those people will buy different vehicles, Truck sales are down due to fuel prices but mid range and economy car sales are up. I still don’t see what you mean by blaming the consumer for the job losses --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sticking-it-to-the-oil-companies/149744)._
