Italy’s lorry drivers say they are suspending their three-day blockade that has led to shortages of petrol and food across the country.

The two main unions representing the strikers say the government has agreed to address their concerns about rising fuel prices and long working hours.

Thousands of drivers have been blockading motorways since Monday.

 This news is interesting on 2 levels. The first is the realization that within 3 days, food shelves can be emptied, gasoline reserves can be deleted, and chaos can break out in a 1st world nation just with a truck strike.

 The 2nd interesting thing to consider it the amazing power we consumers have to change our situation. Maybe it’s time government and big oil realized the growing dissatisfaction many people have with their expensive over-priced over-taxed cash cows, and start to work for the people that put them into power in the first place.

We all know from reading the articles on GasHostage.com that oil companies are making record profits at our expense and they have no intentions of lowering prices. We also know that though the costs associated with obtaining oil today has increased; it is no where near the level that the oil companies have been espousing over the last 10 years.  Oil is NOT in danger of running out anytime soon!  We have plenty of oil and gas reserves, and many untapped new drilling sites, but the oil giants want us to believe that oil is scarce or hard to drill so they can continue to RAISE our prices.

Not only have the oil and gas giants been treating the general consumer poorly, but they also take advantage of the countries they get their oil from.  Many times they simply take the oil from financially unstable countries, by offering huge promises of wealth and actually only providing a fraction of the contracted price. 

The oil and gas companies have grown so large and come to dominate the economic landscape across the entire planet.  Fighting them will be difficult, but not impossible.  As consumers it will be in our interest to discover ways to impact the very core of these large companies and make a statement that we will not tolerate their ways any longer!

Recently we came across a plan to force the oil and gas companies to lower prices.  The idea is to boycott the largest producers of Gas and Oil in your country.  With that in mind, oil companies will be forced to either lower the price to get their products onto the market, or to sit on their reserves and eat billions of dollars in sales.

If you are interested in joining our fight, we would like to hear from you!
