  I’m listening to music rn and my playlist switched to Gasoline by Halsey when I opened the post, perfect timing

  It is kind of crazy how price controls suddenly become fashionable when there’s a shortage. Like yeah, that’s how this whole “supply and demand” thing works!

    From both a moral and an economical perspective, price controls on oil in the US would make tons of sense right now.

    • The US oil producers have done nothing to deserve the current arbitrary price windfall. So morally acceptable
    • The US economy would do much better without the price increase

    America got conned by the monorail guy. But they didn’t even need the show and dance and the charismatic guy, they just saw a fat idiot and were like: you racist? Yes? Get in there.

      False, monorails are a form of public transit which is inherently COMMUNIST and must be eliminated (except for spectacle, we have them in Las Vegas and Disney)

  These idiots will never link this to (hyper)capitalism and megacorps and let alone think of alternatives remotely different from the current status quo.

  Gas prices may affect the midterm votes though and they may vote against the extremist right wing candidates and for the liberal right wing candidates, which I guess is a small win.

    And then flip right back when gas doesn’t magically become $1 per gallon and the nazi-pedophile coalition promises them $1/gallon gas.

  Yay. More politics

• ekZepp@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Or do things like Europe, with policies focused on the citizens and a reasonable free healthcare . But whatever…

  • Dyskolos@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    with policies MOSTLY focused on the citizens

    There, fixed it for you 😁

      Half cup of water is still something. Especially in the desert.

  I don’t get why they are whining about the fuel prices, that’s dirt cheap.

  source

  • JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Not to them it’s not. Proportionally, it’s more than what many can afford. Just like how your fuel prices are dirt cheap to someone living in Hong Kong.
