$60 chicken/barrel is the optimal price to keep the economy from collapsing and keep these chicken baws with jobs.

Hate to burst the bubble of some of you jackasses, but this happened in Q4 of 2015. They just disclosed it today. The amount of people on here that are happy with the misfortune of other Americans is disturbing.

Got a gig with a small steel fab company this afternoon. They are giving me a week before I start which is nice to finish up this house for my dad to sell.

Two people I know from my job before I went in the oilfield work there now and I had no idea. Nice to see some familiar faces. Plus it lets me know what kind of a team I am joining. Was looking forward to going back to school in June. May have to take some night courses now instead of full time student.

You only need health insurance for taxes, so why worry about insurance if your jobless and won't have to worry about filing anyways.

All my deductibles stayed the same. Good thing because having my jaw reset last October wasn't cheap.

Oilfield baws - get to truckin'. Country needs more truck drivers and you need to support your hoe's Whole Foods addiction before Jody shows 'em whats up on his organic pole. Hope you like sleeping in parking lots.

Most of them are probably working for Cameron (Schlum-Dog bought them last year) if I had to guess.

When a billion dollar company buys another billion dollar company, there's lots of overlap in positions.
