Punish BP Not with Boycott But by Using Less Oil
Written by Pats Papers | Saturday, 12 June 2010 7:45 AM
Ron Lieber’s Your Money column in the New York Times points out that punishing BP by refusing to buy gas at its stations isn’t particularly effective, because most of those stations are owned by families under franchise deals.
