Maybe the people complaining about the price of fuel will just decide to walk or use public transport, or even cycle for more of their journeys - or maybe they'll just cry like spoilt children who've been told they can't play with their toys!

It's already quite late and I haven't read any details about this strike but I'm generally with the people who call for strikes, based on solid argument.

If anyone blames them for any sort of price increase they'll be completely wrong because around 75% of the retail price goes to govt treasury. The rest is also highly marked up by oil refineries, suppliers. Come to think of it, did you notice that over the past few years almost all MN oil giants' profit margins have been increasing? I wonder what would happen if OPEC countries start charging more like those MN giants. At least you can't call them to be unfair if they do so!

I'm really pissed today...i don't know why Mad
