Re: Slowdown

Wacko, With all respect your presummption about fuel consumption for the "invasion" is bizarre. A few hundred thousand troops mostly being transported, not individual consumers are not a factor. What will be a factor is the instability that will ensue if and hopefully when the US pulls out. Expect o...

Re: Slowdown

Anyone who feels the price of fuel will not hurt the industry is out of touch with reality or simply a fool. As the US economy slows down ours follows, as that happens discretionary spending disappears, businesses teleconference rather than having "facetime", familys travel less. This will have an e...
