To BP or not to BP
According to financial experts, the price of crude oil has dropped 20% in the past two weeks. The very same blowhard experts are now predicting for gasoline prices to drop. 20% right? Wrong! The predicted drop in gas prices is between 5%-7%... Now just wait one goddamn minute! Let me get this straight… First you assholes fuck up the Gulf of Mexico with a horrific oil spill, oil prices still drop considerably and prices barely budge? What gives? I’ve got a good idea… hows about everybody boycott BP? It’s not like they don’t deserve it anyway, so you can do it with a clean conscience. After boycotting BP for a couple of weeks, they will have to lower prices to try to get some business back. After BP lowers their prices, boycott every other gasoline company until they lower prices as well. Is there any chance of this working at all? I don’t know, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. Repeat after me: No more BP! (until they lower prices) Nothing like a little conviction, eh?

if we hurt them too badly, the government will just give them money, I mean "loan" them money to make up for their profit shortfall. There was just a report that the Treasury is taking a $1.6B loss on the loan to Chrysler. Just read this wikipedia entry about Cerberus Capital Management (equity firm that bought controlling stakes in Chrysler and GM) if you want to see what we are up against in our own government http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus_Capital_Management
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, not buying a little bit of gas won't hurt them.
