I am listening to WSB Atlanta, and all they say is some truckers are going slow blocking traffic - that is dumb.
I have not heard much, you know it is April fools day?
To beat all, congress has hearings today with 'big oil' and they are going to ask what are the oil companies are going to do about this problems, sure?
I listened to the BBC this morning and they were talking about the £1 to £1.10 a litre gas. They pointed out that the fuel actually cost 35p and the tax is 65p. The government is the problem - to translate what I just said.....
I listened to the BBC this morning and they were talking about the $7.50 to $8.25 a gallon of gas. They pointed out that the fuel actually cost $2.65 and the tax is $4.85 a gallon. The government is the problem.
Greg...I've noticed a trend in your responses and it seems any kind of physical protest your against....any particular reasoning?
People have to have an outlet for thier emotion not everyone feels better after writing thier congress person...it doesn't satisfy that feeling...sometimes just doing something feels good.
Do you know what a few thousand farm tractors did to Toronto??? And they came into town from every direction...it was a mess....
It wasn't long after they got thier farm bill movong again...
And where's the farm bill here??? Sitting in Congress and now it's too late the planting season is here!!! Again they blew it.
All the regular people that come on Sundays to see all the big shiney trucks and ooh and awe...
OVM, nice and shiny trucks won't be on the road unless we all actaully do something quickly.
And THATS where the word can be spread and education begin...
If want want to see this truck and others like it again...We need your help.
Thank you.... that is what I am getting at.... just to d*mn dumb at spinning things.
So your saying just let nature take its course?I'm not exactly sure what that would solve. The cost of fuel is something we're going to have to deal w/. If it goes up too high & our rates don't increase, some of us will have to look for other work. Unfortunately people HAVE to drive or the economy will stop. I don't mean just people who drive for a living, but I mean teachers, shop workers, etc.
There's no way that 1) a strike would work & 2) even if it would, people couldn't sustain not driving. It's almost like a baseball strike. As the saying goes, the Billionaires (owners) can outlast the millionaires (players). In this case the oil companies can far outlast us.
Also, the price of oil isn't just the oil companies anyway. Ya have the devaluation of our dollar. Ya have China & India now using a lot & therefore there's competition for supply & demand. Plus ya have Bush ticking off most of the planet. Who do ya think is going to give ya a better price on something, a friend or someone who hates your guts? So there's a lot of factors in the price of oil.
This might sound nuts, but I think all in all the oil companies are doing a decent job w/ the prices considering the state of the world we live in. I'm not happy about paying higher prices, but I don't think the oil companies are the devil in all this.
Take care,
Danny
