Dont Drive Fridays....

[Denial]

I live in York, and i just heard on the news, that we are implamateing this "wonderufl" thought starting next friday for a full month here.

The idea is that over 100+ local buisnesses will not allow their employes to drive places for lunch, or go out during the day in their cars on breaks and things like that, unless its an emergency.. all this as an effort to save gas and lower prices....

And here people thought my idea of stopping motorsprts like nascar for a couple months was a stupid idea...

That is the best idea ever. If everyone in america stopped driving by 50% then they would be forced to lower prices, ultimatley better for us. I have posted this many times and finally someone has caught on hehe.

Im just curious what happens when you do leave, for lunch or something like that... Do they call the cops on you, then end up in a high speed chase and waste 10 times more gas then you would have in the first place just going to mcd's or some other food place for lunch?

youre an idiot, because 90% of america dosent have the coice to stop driving by 50%. or 10%

"Oh, im sorry your overnight delivery didnt arrive on time, we are trying to save gas"

"Yes i know it was an emergency.."

"Yes, i realize that overnight cost you 150 dollars..."

"It's part of this new program, where we drive 50% less"........

How can you not allow someone to do those things? Are they going to be fired if they do?

That's just stupid. Friday is the beginning of the weekend and payday for most people. That's the day when people fill up their tank and go out looking for things to do.

I don't think opec gives a fuck whos driving where and when, they're rasing gas prices cause they can. and a billion dollars is way over exagarated for people driving less. they're still raking in 7 billion a quarter NET.
