Re: OT: Our Economy (US)
What do I think? I think I should buy stock in oil companies! If gas hits $3/gal, then profit/gal can be much higher without people noticing much. They will be selling a premium product instead of a cheap commodity. Sure, people will cut back driving and flying some, but not enough to kill the huge profit potential. Americans are stuck with their gas-guzzling vehicles, their long commutes, and their spread-out suburbs. Maybe they will change in the long run (they certainly would If I Were In Charge; see that topic), but they are stuck in the short run.
As far as the idea of boycotting the biggest company: I do that already. Join me, everyone!
