Here is my latest weapon to fight big oil.


So far I am

At War with BIG OIL

I refuse to buy gas. I know I have to go to work, take my kid to day care, and move my overweight American ass around, but I just don't wanna pay anymore.

action items: WTF do I do about it?
  • Bug my friend Wes to carpool with me and pay him $2.50 for round trip. It costs me $6.00 per day now to get to and from work
  • get a bike and ride to work. (get a workout and screw big oil at the same time)
  • work from home via VPN (virtual private network)
  • buy a scooter (tried that and it was too dangerous)
  • buy a motorcycle. (wife was upset. have to get a motorcycle license, insurances and too much hassle)
  • get an electric car (still requires energy and batteries too expensive to replace)
  • hybrid car (not cost effective yet. big oil companies' fault)

Hmmm....
