What will happen if ALL the transportation industries shut down because of gas prices?
I drove over the road for a short time, enough to become famaliar with it. The govenment has long overlooked the national security matter of transportation of goods. If the trucking industry shutdown for one week you would see a buying panic and two weeks would cause riots. How many airplanes and trains have you seen backed up to a wal-mart, or grocery store or quick-stop or clothing store. With few exceptions every thing it takes to live in this country winds up eventually on a truck to get to where it is going. I have seen several situations in my life, for instance, a few years back there was a toilet paper scare. In this small town it took little time for the shelves to be stripped bare of the tissue. People panic, self preservation takes over. There would be no outlet deliveries of food, fuel and other things necessary and greatly desired.
