Let’s face it. Some rich are getting poorer. Some not so rich are getting richer. As those that are loosing out can’t afford to pay their contracts, the newly rich are picking them up. There will always be rich (not so rich, middle class, and poor) people. It’s a fact of life. That ensures a fractional future.

Besides, the difference is how fracs help pay for the gas on the dead legs.
CitationShares passes any annual savings to the owner. Right now the price is +$2-+$4 more than their contract price, in this situation the owner pays the extra cost.

Oil prices definitely affect companies in different ways. Just look at this week's aviation headlines:


"NetJets to buy 40 Gulfstream jets in $1.9 bln deal"

"United Airlines cutting 950 pilot jobs; Second-largest U.S. carrier already announced 1,600 upcoming layoffs"
