Had a brainstorm this morning, watching the news, the topic "Memorial Day Travel expected to set an all time record in spite of high gas prices."
I agree with the observations here that not pumping gas for a day does nothing, we'll just all buy more gas the next day.
But, how about optional travel? Wouldn't demand decrease sharply over a holiday weekend if folks just stayed home by the millions?
It's my unqualified opinion that that might actually have the appropriate effect. And what would be so bad about staying home and doing something with the family like have a barbque instead of driving somewhere to vacation? Just an idea.
