Chris Wright says ‘I don’t know’ when asked about lower cost of gas as average price soars to $4 a gallon in US
Chris Wright, the Trump administration’s energy secretary, acknowledged Sunday that it might not be until 2027 before US gas prices come back under $3 a gallon.
Asked by Jake Tapper, the CNN State of the Union host, when he thought “it’s realistic for Americans to expect the gas will go back to under $3 a gallon”, Wright replied: “I don’t know. That could happen later this year. That might not happen until next year.”
Some people just don’t understand how much slower the bus is. A trip from my house to my brother’s apartment downtown via a bus is a 3 hr trip with a connection at a hub and a half-mile walk.
I can jump in my car any time, and be there in 15-20 minutes.
If we can get that time down to maybe 40 minutes, then I might consider taking a bus, but until then, it just doesn’t work out.
Because we don’t fund public transit and more importantly, we don’t give them priority right of way. There is no reason a bus full of people should have to wait for a single person in their car to turn, merge, etc.
