Oil boycott day

Post by Peijen »

It just came to me. Let say I own 60% stations covering one region. I could easily lower my price on the boycott day and jackup the price the week before and after that day. Try to boycott that!

Stupid people should be punished more often.

Punished with babies.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

As an oil company, you don't have to do jack. A one day "boycott", even with high levels of participation, doesn't actually reduce oil consumption.

Of course it doesn't reduce the consumption the whole point is to spit in the boycotter's face.
