God forbid people use less gas, or even switch to electric. All that's needed to be happy and fulfilled is cheap gas. Fuck the environment, fuck other people killed for this, as long as we have cheap gas, everything goes.
Don't try anything else. Just keep expecting cheap gas.
Ask me how I know we won't do fuck all about climate change.
You don’t seem to understand: the price of gas affects the price of everything you buy. Not just what is at the pump.
Oh I understand that. And that's whybwe should work really hard to get rid of gas powered vehicles and find alternatives. But no, the only solution is to burn cheap gas.
Struggling to buy gas and barely getting by? Just buy a new car!
How about the majority of us who are already doing that? If I could drive any less, I would. Gas is too expensive
EVs are kinda really expensive when the most common distance you travel is more than 200 miles
