Have we already forgotten what happened in 2015? Guys out there were making 250k a year without a degree, and it turns out there were spending a lot of their income in Vegas to cope with the demands of their jobs.<p>Then the world consumers of oil said &quot;hmm actually we have enough oil for now, we&#x27;re not interested in paying such high prices.&quot;<p>And then the oil rigs, who needed prices at $100+ per barrel so that they could pay their loans...<p>...fired everyone.
