Our rich CEO states that OPEC is doing a good job balancing supply, because that is what gave us a record quarter and will continue to fatten his wallet. This while energy prices are driving massive inflation and causing American families to struggle. I have seen this selfishness and corruption of “leaders” in other countries, it doesn’t end well for them when their support system collapses.

Dude, OP, what are you talking about? 9 months ago oil was $30 and we were getting hosed. We’re you on here complaining about all the layoffs happening in the oil industry back then? If you don’t like $80 oil then don’t work in the oil patch.
Record earnings will go into the variable dividend to reward shareholders and entice more buys. Employees are disposable, gone are the days when “our people are our best asset.”
A better question is will that record quarter translate into record raises and bonuses for everyone? Or does that only occur for those that are part of mass layoffs?

I think your job will eventually be exported is what this is saying, but thinking is hard.
Go away no one cares. What does this have to do with layoffs?
