And, let’s all return to the office while we’re driving less, right?
They are also encouraging auto makers to lower gas mileage. Keep bragging how awesome oil company stocks, and dependant US allies, are thanks to Iran war.
Guess I’ll stop going to work….hmm…maybe I can get some of those WFH days back now that I’m limited to 1 per week?
Best way to lower energy prices is to vote out the republicans.
That guy is a genius! Not even an expert in the obvious would’ve went there. Can we make his “bonuses” even more grotesquely huge? /s
I think I twisted my ankle. Should probably cut off my foot.
So, back to home office, yes?
Well we would, if your stupid administration hadn’t cut telework for feds.
Stupid stupid stupid.
US government evolution of transportation ideology
- Walking is for the poors and the idiots
- Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
- Public transit is big government and communism and you’ll get mugged
- Cars are driving up gas prices
- ???
- PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)
BREAKING NEWS: World hunger finally stopped, thanks to US officials suggesting to just “eat more food, if you are hungry”.
Poverty solved! Just don’t be poor.
I drive to and from dialysis three times per week, and to the occasional medical appointment. Which of those exactly should I be skipping?
How long without dialysis before you don’t use any gasoline at all?
Remember the anti-COVID vaccination push?
You could skip all of them if you take a bus /train/bike. This is of course if you have the option. I don’t know your situation.
of course if you have the option.
And there is the root of the problem.
Those options are increasingly not available in American cities

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!
Hope all the miserable assholes who voted for stopping electrification feel it in every part of them. I hope they have to give up on real, meaningful life dreams forever because they are now unaffordable. And I hope their houses specifically burn down in the wildfires the CO2 from their gasoline made so common.
I am beyond done with this gasoline bullshit.
Gas in my region is well over $5 a gallon I don’t notice because we went from 2 cars to 1, and the one is an EV.
Meanwhile I STILL see these absolute morons buying huge gas suvs and trucks because… They need to? Always have a bullshit excuse that’s always easily debunked.
Y’all buying gas by the hour?
Ha, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised. Fixed it!
You can just electrify on your own though, regardless of what the government wants.
There are a lot of things people can do on their own… in a world where the median US income isn’t $45,000 and responsible and capable products aren’t tariffed to hell.
Mass adoption comes with affordability which comes with support and clear, intentional direction. Consumers don’t shift paradigms when they think the new paradigm won’t go anywhere. We can’t even get people off of X - and that costs NOTHING.
Electrifying on your own is prohibitively expensive for most people, and the fact that those people have to be prepared to also pay an additional premium because they’re fighting their own government at the same time, in a period in time where people can barely afford FOOD, is not tenable.
Using energy costs more money than not using it. With the amount of people flying every day don’t tell me cost is the problem.
Dumbass, you think the median person is flying everyday??
With the amount of people flying every day don’t tell me cost is the problem.
Cost is part of the problem.
I bet the trick to lowering health care costs is to need health care less, too.
I save money on healthcare by spending 1/4 of my paycheck on health insurance and then absolutely never using it - hoping I cease existing if anything occurs.
Aha! You’ve figured out their ingenuous strategy! /s
But seriously, what in the smooth-brained bullshit is this kind of logic?!
It’s the same shit they did & still do with COVID-19 testing. ‘If we do less tests, there will be less cases recorded! Problem solved!’
Sounds great! I look forward to your heavy federal investment into mass transit
(not like that)
