And that’s basically it!
And meanwhile, here in the UK, the average is $8.40 per US gallon at the current exchange rate.
Ok then the administration should push all employers to make any position that is able a work from home decision. But we all know that won't happen, got to protect those commercial real estate profits!
Now if people only had a choice to live in evil "15min cities" where distances are much shorter and feasible alternatives to driving are available and affordable, they actually could do that, without quality of life collapsing. Oh wait, having a non miserable life is no criterion for this administration, then forget that socialist 15 min nonsense, just drive less.
I'm living in one, or at least the 15-minute part of one. Small city in southwest England. I drive about once a week, to go out to the countryside to hike and visit a pub. Everything else is done on foot or on a bicycle. Highly recommended, despite it being totally evil. My MAGA relatives fear that I'm living in some hellish dystopia and it's only a matter of weeks before I'll be shot if I try to leave the city limits. They're already spun up enough that I don't own a gun and that I get my medical treatment on the NHS (which is under stress nationally, but still works well where I live). "Death panels," y'know...

Jimmy Carter ass suggestion
Yeah you stupid pay pigs, don't you know economics!? Supply and demand! Just stop demanding the resource we spent decades making indispensable and kept artificially scarce!
yes, you seeee, you peasants need to stop taking your private jets on unnecessary jaunts.
that won't work. if everyone were to stop driving or relying on gas tomorrow. the oil companies would still raise the price because they are now "losing money" due to low demand and have to raise prices to make up for the make-believe money they are "losing"
MAGA, the O&G companies and Elon Musk installed Trump because they wanted us to drive less? That was their plan all along? We all believe that ...
Fuck you in particular, Ricky.
I think I twisted my ankle. Should probably cut off my foot.
Yo, fucker. We don't want lower gas prices. Keep them high.
We can't afford the cost of low gas prices.
Yeah fuck this guy, let's air drop him into Iran.
No thanks, you can keep him.
