Good I hate the economy.
A good economy is bad for the average worker, as it means companies are doing well. Unfortunately a bad economy is also bad for the average worker, as losses are socialized, usually in tax dollars. Enjoy your existence, peasant.

From a financial standpoint, selling oil makes money.
