    NGL, I kind of want higher prices to get people to stop driving so fucking much, but obviously this will impact transportation of goods which isn’t good. Plus can’t always take public trans and obviously they aren’t pushing EVs so really, not how I’d do it (stupid monkeys paw).

    Now, a tax on oil that directly funds green transport for working class, that would work. But that would require someone who gives a shit and knew what they were doing, and instead we have the dumbest trade war in history.

    No shit. Everything is going to go up. It’s going to destroy the middle fucking class and the working poor that keeps this country running on their back will be completely fucked. But at least we made rich people richer, fucked the US in the global spectrum, and oh… they owned the libs!

    10% won’t be so bad but if that number hits 25-50%, the MidWest gonna be paying $8 usd a gallon.
