never said oil was evil. your throwing assumptions out there.
i use petro products every single day, but when my costs double, it ain't because the delivery driver who delivers our material is not making more, or the guys at the Soprema plant down the road from me aren't making more either, despite what you or anyone else thinks, were paying thru the nose for oil because of greed.
i have multiple family members in the alberta oil patch, and the money they make for the little they do is unreal. FULL STOP.
as i said once before, no probs with profits, but when you complain about the cost of your roof, 75% of the complaints can be laid at the feet of oil company greed.

I will always defend the industry that I love dearly and unapologetically. Don’t forget we work in one of the most dangerous professions around. Ever had to deal with H2S? How about constant fire hazards? Being away from home weeks on end with out seeing those you love? It can be easy to point the finger when you don’t walk in the boots. I’m sure you’re no stranger to hard work, but us oil and gas guys bust our asses equally hard, a lot more than we sometimes get credit for. 12-16 hour days are pretty normal in most fields. We don’t get to set our prices on the oil we sell. The market does it. I’m a supervisor for a large NW New Mexico production company with 400,000+ acres of leases and future endeavors. We are told monthly what we will will be paid for bbl’s and MCF’s.

Most recent was a few years back...full insurance deal due to hail storm. One window replaced, several window repairs and other replacement/repair of broken or damaged items related to the storm. Bill was ~40k.

In my estimation being a roofer is one the 3 hardest jobs. The other 2 being a brick layer and working concrete. Outside in the elements year around.

My supply costs have skyrocketed also. Tackstrip,seam tape,metal afterply and the list goes on. But it’s just to easy to scapegoat the oil industry. There is a bigger problem and it’s hard to sort it out.
I’ll keep swinging my hammer til I can’t no more.

22 yrs of hard labor to pay off the house. and ya, being a brickee is just as bad as roofing. my buddy does it, packing 5 gal pails of mortar and bricks up and down scaffolding all day.
and i hear ya, there's 2 kinds of people, those that swing hammers and those that push pencils...i to am a hammer swinger and will be till i retire...

actually i use some of the harshest chemicals that you can think of everyday. we have MSD's for 95% of the products we use.
and constant fire hazards? buddy, i play with fire every. single. day. at work. after falls, fires and fire hazards are the biggest threat we face everyday. our kettles run 1 million btu's, our membrane torches run at 600000 btu's, even our hot air welders get more than hot enough to light up paper and wood. the minute we step off the ladder, every step up there is a game of death. you don't really get a second chance going sideways off a building.
no i don't work in the oil industry, so i can only speak for what i've seen myself. my nephew sits in a vac truck for 10-12 hrs a day playing on his phone. in a 12 hr shift he will actually only be vaccing for maybe an hr or two, and he makes $42 per hr. think about it, only works a couple hrs a day at $42 per hr but still makes close to $500 every day-make of it what you want.
what i would like to be explained so maybe i can understand better is why earlier this week mar 25 2024, our gas was $1.59 a liter ($6.02 per gal) and than on thursday mar 28 2024, (day before Good Friday long weekend) our fuel jumped to $1.89 a liter ($7.14 per gal) and today now that the long weekend is over, our fuel came down to $1.85 a liter ($6.90 per gal)
the funny thing is though oil was $86 a barrel on mon mar 25, and on thursday mar 28 oil was $83 a barrel....????? cheaper oil yet we have to pay more? what am i missing here? after doing a little digging, turns out no refinery's were shut down for maintainence, far as i can tell no terrorist attacks on any oil infrastructure...so why did our fuel go up over a buck for the long weekend?

from US energy information;
On March 25, 2024, the Brent crude oil price stood at 86.11 U.S. dollars per barrel

also from US energy information;
March 28 Crude Oil: 83.17 (+1.82). Nymex MTD AVG: 80.5455. Natural Gas: 1.754

It isn't any of the people in the trenches who are the problem. To quote Don Henley, "A man with a briefcase can steal more money than a man with a gun".

And get a much lighter sentence for stealing more money when he does get caught.
