It would allow for the corporate deck to be reshuffled, bringing new faces and motivations to bear on prior stagnancy. Also, it would provide wonderful experience for those MBAs with limited social skills and personalities to learn how to adapt to the change wrought by their actions. And, well, it would be some good clean fun as well. Perhaps it would be the best opportunity to observe those who erect dysfunctional behavior and organizations to modify them into performing structures with a focus beyond the quarterly report.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Greg Chenevert</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/7512140373529861589/comments/default/4528118601045531372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/7512140373529861589/comments/default/4528118601045531372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blue-lobster.blogspot.com/2008/02/oil-profits-simple-economics.html?showComment=1204030680000#c4528118601045531372' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://the-blue-lobster.blogspot.com/2008/02/oil-profits-simple-economics.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995873698063375234.post-7512140373529861589' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/posts/default/7512140373529861589' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995873698063375234.post-6836130492320526628</id><published>2008-02-19T13:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-19T13:14:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Great thoughts.

However, oil = plastics too.  Our plastics come from oil. Amazing how many people do not know that.  A huge way to save is to cut down on our disposable plastics consumption.  Recycle. Very simple solution. Then as you pointed out more of our oil can go to fuel. There are solutions other than blaming big oil for wanting (actually needing) to make a profit.&lt;BR/&gt;Angela Young</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/7512140373529861589/comments/default/6836130492320526628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/7512140373529861589/comments/default/6836130492320526628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blue-lobster.blogspot.com/2008/02/oil-profits-simple-economics.html?showComment=1203444840000#c6836130492320526628' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://the-blue-lobster.blogspot.com/2008/02/oil-profits-simple-economics.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995873698063375234.post-7512140373529861589' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/995873698063375234/posts/default/7512140373529861589' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
