We know you RWNJs re literally dying to have an excuse to use your guns on real people. So much more fun than going to the gun range or just shooting deer.

This really does seem to be the case.

On the plus side, those of us with electric cars will be the only ones able to afford fuel, so that puts a damper on the giant SUV driving crowd if they can't afford the gas to come after us.

The problem with gas prices is not that you will be "forced" to buy an EV, or that a mom will have a problem to fill her Honda Odyssey. The problem is a little big bigger. More expensive oil means that farmers need more money to fill their machines. Truck drivers will need more money to transport the food. Stores will need to raise their prices to offset the growing cost of delivery. Your cleaning lady or lawn service will need more money to come to your place, etc.

Food and goods and service will become more expensive. Many people will buy less, many will cancel different services... Can you see the chain reaction? Come on, we were good at thinking about extended consequences back in the days of flattening the curve. This is no different.

That’s why Joe’s number one priority should be outlawing guns. All of them. I don’t want to hear blathering about “muh constitution freedumbs”. This is a potential national crisis. These people are armed to the teeth and itching to kill us. The government needs to kill them first or it will be a slaughter.

Oil companies are making so much money that their ceos are getting raises and they are doing stock buybacks, making shareholders very happy.

It's free market.

Low prices are not sustainable long term. We need to adapt. Consume less.

The only problem is that nobody wants to be the one that actually has to consume less. We are just silly apes that can’t help ourselves even though we know where it leads.

Amending the constitution is very, very, difficult. It would be a waste of resources to attempt it at the moment.

That’s what Angela Merkel said when she gave up Germany’s energy independence and made Germany dependent upon Russia.

What’s really funny is that you will not be able to buy a new car that is not electric 10 years from now. “You electric car people” will be everyone. You are on the wrong side of history. It’s sad that you have to drag out the inevitable transition and waste more life and damage the environment even more in the process.

Yep. And a free market never has the best interests of consumers as a goal.

DP but while there are free market forces at play, there is not and and there has never been a free market. The oil industry as it exists today would not have been possible without government interference.

There is such a thing as lack of cash flow killing an economy.
