When will the point come when societal manipulation will cause anyone to get off their fat asses and actually DO anything? How much is going to be enough?

I challenge everyone to stay home from work for a week so you don't have to fill your tank. What would happen? Aren't you curious? I speculate that the prices will go down, simple economics - demand declines, price declines. I must applaud the truck drivers who had the guts to block the freeways, way to go.
