When gas reaches X amount per gallon the food riots begin, X=?

Question

can you predict when the crime rate,murders arson, B&E begin to blast off?

Answer 1

Let's see, if they push through the local drilling for oil, that will make jobs, low crime.  Since hundreds of levys in the midwest have failed and flooded millions of acres of farm land, the cost of corn and wheat will drain consumers, high crime.  So, we can't eat or go any where, we're sitting ducks for "student visa" terrorists, where is Chuck Norris when you need him?!?

Answer 2

I would have to agree with what spiderman said we have food you don't. You wanna eat you better give us some d**n oil and pronto and oh by the way we have jets that can turn your country to glass by breakfast so at about $6.00 a gallon even the bleeding heart liberals in this country will be ready to bomb someone back to the stone age.

Answer 3

Well, we can only stay a civilized societyfor so long.  Anarchy reigns eventually.  Just look at New Orleans.

I would say, that when people can no longer afford to drive to work, all h**l will break loose.  Also, when more people lose their homes.

I would say $5.50 would be the point of no return in the next year and we will be standing outside of the piggly wiggly waiting for our can of pork and beans.

If gas goes over $6 per gallon in the next year, I am going to turn into Daniel Boone and move out into the deep woods, bring a compass and bow with me.

An IPOD is useless in the wild.

Answer 4

come down yamster every thing will be ok

Answer 5

its coming unless congress acts soon..Id say 6.0 a gallon

Answer 6

wow, great question !

i think that crime, theft, ect.. will indeed rise, ( if they keep raises the gas prices, ) which raises all the prices in the entire market for everything from clothes, to food, ect.. ect.ect..

consider this perhaps??....

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.

OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel.

Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.

Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!

Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel ***!!!

bottom line, we need to drill here in the states ! we need to do something to lower the price of gas, get another cheaper fuel or whatever to get places, car pool more, ect..

come on washing dc,  congressmen, ect.. do something !

Answer 7

I can't predict when it will be exactly, but it's probably within months now.

And you're right when people can't afford gas and food.. there will be riots and there will be more crime.  People WILL steal to bring home food for their families and yes eventually they will KILL when their children are close to starving.

We are at the verge of losing everything, and not enough people are paying attention.
