Those I have no empathy for as they didn't think and were irresponsible. They'll recover, become responsible, and when they try to pass the lessons on, there will be a new group of know it all high flyers.
That cycle had been part of Alberta for decades.

So were you also hoping the same for the auto workers in Ontario that were looking at massive layoffs when their employers were ready to go under? There are people in every occupation that do the same as you are accusing the oilfield workers of, but somehow because they work in the oil industry they deserve it and you have no compassion for them. You sir, are a pathetic individual and I'm glad I don't know you outside of this forum as I have no use for people like you.
