The price of everything is affected by fuel prices. So, when did tree-huggers get to decide all by themselves that it was time for the economy to stagger. |
Well I guess what you are saying is that the environmentalists are responsible for the price of a barrel of oil and thus the oil company's record profits. Maybe they (the tree-huggers) are really surreptitiously working for big oil huh? In cahoots all along. Who woulda thunk it? Sneaky damn tree-huggers.

Sorry to hear about your unskilled co-workers. I guess there's always the Army for them. I guess they have lots of openings...............
