Well if the raw material price goes up 35% then BP and all the oil companies that aren’t exposed in the gulf production environment are going to see massive profits

Imagine how terrified that guy must've been. The stuff of nightmares.

I'm reading a Matt Dinniman book called Operation Bounce House. It's a satirical sci-fi story of a peaceful farming community on a distant planet defending themselves from remotely piloted machines from Earth.
