it is hard to imagine, how other industries in the united states would all have this same type of opportunity for growth due to huge price rises on to us?
it would be great if ALL industries had this opportunity, but not all of them are in an industry where their prices for their product doubled in retail price, and their customers still HAD TO CONTINUE to buy it, just for their livelyhood, just to survive.
But IF all industries could and did benefit in this imaginary scenario, it would be awesome because people would be working and making more money and would be able to afford the higher prices....but escentially just holding their own, really not making more money, but maintaining their same lifestyle....
BUT RIGHT NOW, this is not the case.
I do see your point on the oil people in Texas, it is awesome that they can get some of this "profit" instead of it all going to the Middle East.....none of this is their "fault", they have not caused the price rise....
