"GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join wi th us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline
priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.09 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people.
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to a t least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE
>>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>P EOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I
had that much potential, did you?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH This, among other things, has caused me to be thinking constantly about starting the application process for Canadian citizenship. These people are so selfish! If this even works, which is doubtful, what is the point of momentarily lowering gas prices. The resources are going to run out eventually anyway. We should be pushing for alternative transportation methods. Yes, things will be a bit expensive for a time, but if you have enough fucking money to fucking have a car than you can fucking handle the price increase. You paid 30,000 dollars for that massive gas guzzler that you claim is useful for hauling around your........oh no wait, the heaviest thing you ever pick up is a grande half/calf latte!! Not to mention, that you failed to make any mention to the ACTUAL war, that yes, is still going on and your neighbor bobby joe died in last week. No, the most pressing issue right now is that you save money so that you can roam around town whenever you like and pick up male prostitutes, because your white collar picket fence life has you convinced that you aren't gay, or any deviation from the norm. Fine, whatever, do whatever you want with your time and your car, but do it in a hybrid or electric, or something that isn't akin the "blood oil". Yeah, I said it. That Leonardo DiCaprio stinkbomb typifies the American preoccupation with other corrupt nations, and we have a keen ability to turn a blind eye to our own criminal behavior. People watched it, said "oh that was soooo good" "isn't Leo hot!!" "oscar worthy!!" "that is such an intense issue!" and in no way realize how it resonates in their own lives, and how culpability may rest in their own hands. Not to say that I'm any different (although I am currently driving a hybrid). I wish gas prices were cheaper, but if they have to be a bit more expensive, as long as we shed some light on what's really underlying, and what's really in crisis, than maybe the few extra dollars will be a welcome reminder of my privilege.
