I don't want to see any more refineries since it'll certainly cut into the oil companies profits, and many here on this forum would HATE for that to happen. They DESERVE to rake in BILLIONS on our backs. Apparently many here LOVE to give up their hard earned salaries to keep management and the oil companies making a nice "well earned PROFIT".
All of this post is emotionally charged. No facts. I want to pose a question to you. If we just got a 10% profit sharing check of say $50,000 would you be saying we should give some back? I don't think so. You don't work for an oil company so why would you say they've made profit on your back? You know that bottle of water you get in the cockpit? I bet you'd pay 1.99 at the store and not think twice about it. Or, 1.29 for a bottle of 16oz of Coke. Why do you think THE most valuable commodity on the planet should be so cheap? If you owned oil rights to an oil well, I wonder if you would scream as loud. BTW, there are oil fields all over Crawford. Your play.
