I complain when I see wrongdoing , no matter who. The grass not being cut on the nations roads is just an example , but salaries never stopped running, but the govt gets blamed for doing nothing because they not enforcing as they should.

It's the small man does always have to pay when subsidies get cut or sharp drops in oil and gas are occurring. Rain sun or snow nothing affecting a dollar of their salary.
This is why I look forward to alot of them exiting this life the same way Frankie did.
On a chair by themselves leaving all the tax payers dollars behind in a bank account.

This is not a backpedal. This is me pointing out your nonsense that forex problems is a fault of this govt when it clearly existed prior to them. Why don't you backpedal from that?
I actually ignored your secondary nonsense of trying to be exacting. Being a gas based economy is subsumed in the fact we are comprehensively an oil and gas economy. We do produce oil, we just produce more gas relative to oil. But every year we make a national budget estimate based on forecasted Brent index crude oil price and a Henry Hub gas price because we are an oil and gas economy and the fluctuation of both commodities determine the majority of our revenues.

I don’t see how discussing something with people who have different views could ever be like this. That’s why the world has so many problems today. People are not normally adjusted and some can’t cope with the pressures of life, so they trigger.
