[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
There is such a thing as lack of cash flow killing an economy.[/quote]

There is also such a thing as climate change and an epidemic of persistent chemicals and micro plastics in our environment caused by our overconsumption.[/quote]

This sounds a bit like a modern version of "let them eat cake"[/quote]
