That's the attitude which is driving costs up to an unmanageable point whether it's construction or production.
It's the same attitude which can split families if one member of that family wins a lottery or a rich uncle dies. "Look at all the money - give me some."
I fear this could be the straw.
Admittedly, $1.5 B would not break the oil companies back, but at some time they will have to implement measures to control the rising costs of trying to make a dollar. Until they have to resort to trying to make a cent.
This seems like the perfect opportunity - because it won't appear to be greedy oil companies trying suppress the common man, it will be a necessary reaction to an uninformed new government.
