Episode 149 - Josh is mad at the world | Pioneer CEO advocates regulation | OPEC?

This week, Josh is mad at everything, Ryan is slowly slipping into depression, and we talk about the rising chorus of companies cutting capital expenditure and calling for government intervention. We discuss why the economics of the current downturn would best benefit from being left alone, and talk about how oilfield workers can go about getting new jobs.
