this stimulus crap is just another way of getting us to give our money directly to the oil companies.

On May 2nd the nation is planning a gas strike . dont buy gas on that day ... pass it on And dont give me greif about this just passing it on also . and I will be pertisapating ... have a nice day see ya's tonight after work .. This has been done before, and it simply isn't gonna work. Why? Well... - a one-day gasoline boycott is considered a drop-in-the-bucket next to the BILLIONS of bucks big oil makes on a daily basis. They'll only start making their money again on the following day. Some statistics state that for a boycott to TRULY be successful, the boycott-to-be would have to go on for the better part of a month or more. And -unless you'd be willing to NOT drive for that long- that probably isn't in the cards. - some of the less-informed out there will go ahead and get gas on the "boycott" day anyway, which would pretty much negate any of the impact a boycott would have anyway. So the oil companies are gonna see at least SOME profit even in light of a boycott. - since gasoline is bought via wholesale markets as well as through franchises (the gas stations), chances are that it'll be the gas station owners (and NOT the oil companies) who would feel the pinch first. And THAT would only happen after a boycott lasting longer than a day. The only way to have a realistic chance of side-stepping the oil companies is to make investments in REAL energy alternatives, and not any of that flash-in-the-pan ethanol stuff (which would only interfere with grain supplies meant for human/animal consumption more than anything else)... like the rather interesting technology that was being developed in San Diego that used electricity to break apart water to oxygen and hydrogen, in essence making a "safe" kind of fuel cell. It's just too bad that the fella who developed THAT technology was found murdered in his home not too long ago. Gee... I wonder who would do such a thing... *shakes head* |

Especially when you factor in the increased profits to the oil companies the day before and the day after the "strike." |
