How high do gas prices need to get before people do something?
Ryan asked:
I realize that we have our hands tied somewhat, since most people need gas in order to drive to work, store, etc, but there must be SOMETHING people can do to put pressure on the states to cap oil prices. By continuing to buy at these hiked prices, we’re sending the message that we’re ok with paying these prices…..but we’re not! What do you suppose should be done?
I was hoping others would have ideas. the only thing I can really think of is organize a protest march on the capital demanding that they cap oil prices or something along those lines. I’m kind of mixed feelings as to whether protests work, so I’m open to suggestions.
