YOUR OIL DOLLARS AT WORK!

(AN ENGINEERING MASTER PIECE)

During the construction phase...

Dubai, United Arab Emirates




All finished. Notice the palm trees outside...
Remember, this is in the middle of the desert.. The very
HOT desert where temperatures get up to 120 degrees...

Unbelievable!
But true...

The INSIDE view





Why is gasoline $3.00 a gallon for
regular unleaded!?!
So they can ski in the desert, that's why!

Weigh In!... WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR OIL DOLLARS AT WORK!?!

What about those fabulous remunerations for the US oil company moguls? Pretty nifty to retire from Exxon with such a lovely retirement income.

And what about changing jobs at high executive levels and receive such wonderful bonuses? Even when the company tanks?

Ah well, there are those who have invested in the oil companies and their dividend checks are getting larger, I wonder if that will last for very long?

Just some thoughts.

if that's what $60 a barrel oil can buy, imagine what $90 will get them... Maybe a better pitch on their ski slope, that one is pretty whimpy.
