Mosin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hmm.. See if we strike tomorrow they will lower their prices, and on Sat. when they make them higher than usual people will maybe just strike again. With the Oil companies losing that much money everyday they will eventually compromise and put them to a "reasonable rate" Thats my opinon. Even if we didn't strike again, They would lose at least $30 Billion. Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Face it boys.... Gas companies have by the short hairs. It's a level of power and control that none of us can even dream about or begin to understand. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) doubt they'd strike again. and how you say they'd lose $30 bil? they'd just GAIN it right back regardless. cuz we're all going to NEED to fill up again that one day they'd lose money sure...but the next few days they'd gain it right back. back to square one we go Edited May 2, 2008 by ExpoSport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleitaly1990 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 they wont lose a dime unless people decide to give up gas for good or lower their consumption on a daily basis, which just isn't going to happen. I don't know bout anyone else but I sure as fuck am not taking a bike around town like before I drove. That $30 billion number is falsely made up by people who don't have a grasp on economics.. Not trying to hate on you, but this is one of my more knowledgeable areas. Supply and demand will BARELY change in one day or even one week unless something happens on a massive scale, like when yesterday that oil pipe in England was repaired and the Nigeria strike ended, which allowed a MUCH greater supply into the system and will break down prices slighty soon. If your goal is to hurt OPEC, nuke Saudi Arabia or another OPEC country, or find a way to stop China from converting from bicycles and those big hats to cars.

Mosin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well your the expert littleitaly lol Now that I hear the other side of this about it not hurting anything, I now think its pointless. Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 $4.29 gots to be next to ridiculous!! but still even $3.50 sucks. I remember when I thought $2.15 was high Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleitaly1990 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 there is one way that your plan would work though....if during that strike of yours, we didn't drive our cars like normal and walked or rode bikes, therefore bringing the demand down, that would hurt them pretty substantially. It would be kool as fuck, but like I said, we ain't givin up our rides! Besides, my bike doesn't have subs, or air in the tires. Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath.
