The 'trickle down' effect of BP's gusher. |
|
OK, this is small beer compared to all the other fresh hell that's breaking loose down here, but... My friend's son has just been 'laid off' from his job as assistant pro at a local golf course. "Sorry, Don. The players just aren't coming. We have to cut back." And so it goes... :grr:

1. There will be hundreds of thousands of "small beers" just like that... |
|
Hotels, restaurants, spas... then the businesses that support those workers... the grocers, dry cleaners, car dealerships, etc.
And worse. I shuddered when I heard some asshat crying about how the oil industry feeds so much of the economy in the south and how they need to keep drilling... as he sat in a boat surrounded by oil. Greed has succeeded in making the world really stupid.
