California has a couple refineries shut down at this time. It matters a lot when you have to bring fuel in from outside area that don't normally produce or stock your blend.
These are not factors in this issue right now. I tried to explain that to you, and you just continued to repeat them as a cause. Do you think I’m unreasoned for calling you on it?
I think you are insulting and uninformed.
Just throwing some numbers out here but if the average family uses 1000 gallons of gas a year a 50 cent drop in prices saves them 500 dollars and this is what many claim is the boost in economy or freed up cash. Do they take into consideration the income lost from all those that lost their job’s? Let’s say the average oilfield hand makes 75,000 a year, it would take 150 families to equal that loss in income. Now lets take in a few facts, we have 39 oil producing states with millions of people dependent on the oil and gas business as the primary income source not counting those indirectly effected. We have a total of over 100,000 thousand who have now been laid off in various divisions of the industry, that means 15 million families need to offset that income loss. Keep adding up those that got laid off and it’s obvious the income revenue in total keeps taking a hit. The loss of billions of dollars a year in less overall income does not produce a booming economy.
