I'm not one of those people complaining about falling oil prices. The folks who earn a living getting the oil out of the ground and refining it are feeling it by way of pink slips. Notice at the bottom of the article that Halliburton is cutting 9,000 jobs, Schlumberger cut about 20,000 jobs, and Baker Hughes cut 10,500 jobs. That's going to take a bite out of their local economies. BP is also talking about more layoffs.

Is this just proof that we exist within a zero-sum-game where someone can't win unless someone else loses?
