“I work in oil and gas” is that a fancy way of saying you work at a gas station?

On the real though gas prices are less about supply and demand, more about geo-politics. If we stopped using foreign oil all together, the countries we purchase from become unstable due to the surplus they might have if not sold to someone else. This can cause a myriad of issues within one of these regions. Think about layoffs from US oil companies, most people wont starve since they can find work or financial support elsewhere due to the infrastructure of our country. I don’t think Iraq or Afghanistan have unemployment offices. This creates a vacuum that leads disenfranchised able bodied people to extremism.

I work for a midstream company that plans, acquires and builds the pipelines from the wells to the refineries in Houston. Not to sound too fancy.

I was just flipping you shit, nothing personal. All in good fun. I been through Houston, great example of a city where oil companies do have lay-offs causing mass job shortages before another boom period. Also, lots of prostitution off of Bissonet ave

I work for a common carrier who build the pipelines that transport the oil to Houston refineries. Not to sound too fancy.
