I'm sure we ship large quantities of food to OPEC nations. Every time they reduce production, we should reduce the amount of food we ship to them. Every time they raise prices, we should raise the price of the food we sell them.

If they balk, tell them we have to do these things in order to 'afford' their oil.

Goody, listen to what you said! What’s the difference between oil and food? That, in theory, we can ‘do without’ oil.

Of course, mysterio correctly points out in order to pull off a successful boycott, we have to utterfly stop consumption. I’m not sure Americans are ready for that, but what a heckuva statement it would make if we could pull that off! Even if just for a week or two!
