Where can motorists turn?
Re “Gas price hikes ahead,” April 22
So, gas is going to be $4 a gallon, but there are no boycotts or picket signs at gas stations and consumers are still buying gas. Is that a signal we don’t care or that gas to get to work ranks as a huge necessity?
I’m making my trips short and trying to get another vehicle that goes farther on less -- kind of like my paychecks. Besides, who should we boycott or picket? The gas stations still in business are little guys caught in the crunch too. It’s not that Americans are lethargic but hopeful, waiting for the election. But I’m afraid, going by what I hear, the politicians’ solutions will be snowballs thrown at a blast furnace as the war drags on and on.
In this huge economy, where do I go to protest the lack of urgency on the part of elected representatives and their corporate supporters?
