TELL ME if THIS would WORK?? IF ALL AMERICANS got MAD and stopped buying ....?

Question

gas .... We need to take some INTELLIGENT, and UNITED action. The oil companies just laugh at us, because they know we can't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.like one day boycott ideas....

How then? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN make 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 on me at this point...just tell 10 of your freinds and aquaintances. if they tell 10 and so on, we could whip hi gas prices within the month..IT WILL TAKE A SMALL ACTION ON YOUR Part.

Answer 1

The problem is that the corporate America of today is that the economics you were taught in school, don't work without govt involvement.  

ATM the oil companies and OPEC are in collusion to keep our oil prices high.  So hence there is no way to force fair competition in a deregulated society like ours is now, or upon unregulated international corporate entities.  

Just like the how the rolling black outs of California were all created and caused by Exxon to make money, so is this idea of scarcity of oil, and that deregulation is for every ones best interest, its all an illusion pushed on us to make us pay for higher gas and to make the rich richer.

Answer 2

There are better solutions ...but no ones cares..drive small cars, smaller trucks, no school buses, let mom take'em, no more two hour commutes to work..small homes that are efficient not like the wasteful barns built today..no more lawn mowers that not only waste gas but pollute..use more rail transporting of goods not trucks...drill more well's in the U.S. and start using oil shale...just to mention a few.

Answer 3

Yeah if only all of these people didn't have jobs. If some tree huggers would let us drill in Alaska that would help our problem or we could just let the oil companies live on the street for a while so they get a taste of the poor people and hope they have a change in heart and wallet but I doubt it. We are not whimping out we are trying to survive and you have to work in this world to survive.

Answer 4

It would work if only people would stick to it.
