4. I'm not going to cry depositing my royalty checks

7. No one cared because cheap oil doesn't cause social upheaval and the death of millions

The price of that oil is going to be factored into every damn thing you buy, every mouthful you eat. Have fun bitching about those caviar prices.

Remember Ms. Chevron who had an oil tanker named after her, until they hurriedly renamed that when she became NSA.
