How many people were hurt in the hurricane because they couldn't afford fuel for their cars to evacuate?

Question

The media tells Less Traffic deaths with higher fuel cost.

But nothing about Hurricane deaths from people that could not afford to fuel up their cars to evacuate! People wake up!

In my business I have to us a truck and a trailer, to go from town to town. I can't get a tiny car to save on gas. My customers can't pay more just because Exxon wants more money from me. It's just not right.

Then I would be just the same as Exxon, raising the price of my product just because Exxon wants more money! I cannot afford fuel much less a new car note. I suppose the thing to do is

go home, not work, and tell the government to pay my house note and put me on welfare to feed my family and pay my utilities because it costs too much for me to go to work!

Answer 1

It will be even worse as long as Global Warming is propagated. It scares Gore and he is trying to convince U or force U to save the fuel for his air plane...

Answer 2

stop the tired rhetoric of blaming the big oil companies for the price of gasoline. oil speculators, transportation companies, the government, the environmentalists, and we the people are ALL to blame for high gas prices. the greenies dont want oil wells in this country, and congress gives them their way in that regard, so the oil speculators see less oil on the open market and push the price up. and we the people sit by and let this happen. we dont tell congress to get off the fat backsides and let the energy companies give us the energy we need, and we do this two ways;

1 we grip about the price of oil, and maybe write a letter or two to congress complaining about it, and then when election time comes around we vote the same idiots back into congress.

2: we plain just dont care about the cost of oil, and want to wake up tomorrow and see that the world has magically changed and everyone is driving around in electric cars that require no recharging.

as for people not evacuating because they couldnt fill their gas tanks, hogwash. why didnt they get on a bus? why didnt the local government help them out? there are always alternatives, but most people are too short sighted to see them.

Answer 3

Two and a half.

Answer 4

Charles Swab and all these stock market investor companies need to be closed down,and the C.E.O.s tried for treason.

Answer 5

I suggest you find another line of work that is not as fuel intensive. Because the days of cheap fuel are gone. Its the long term price of having all that cheap Chinese made stuff in WalMart. And a result of having elected a dumb frat boy to the White House. Twice.

Answer 6

There's no way of knowing that.  But before you blame it all on Exxon, remember that congress was asked to take the taxes off the gasoline, but since they're controlled by the democrats they said no to lower prices.

On top of that, those same democrats plan to raise the taxes on gasoline as soon as possible.  They're a heartless bunch.

And they're out of control.  They won't let us drill domestically and they keep raising taxes.  Can you imagine if Obama wins how many new taxes they'll add as well as all the old ones they'll raise.

It's obvious they don't care about you or your situation.  They'd love for you to be on welfare so they can control what you receive from them.

The democrats didn't used to be socialists, but they are now.
