Back in 1980-81, by a series of flukes, I found myself working as a programmer on financial applications at the HQ of Aramco at Dhahran. It was at a time when oil was selling for $33 - like $150 today. I knew from my work that the oil was costing 65 cents to produce. Multiply that by 9mbd to get an idea of the profit. Unimaginable.

Just a friendly reminder in this chaotic time: Please try to verify videos and posts you put up here. I know I'm not an admin, but I'm just talking about good manners and common sense here.

Let's try not to contribute to the chaos.
