    I’m starting to think that perhaps every Republican attack on Biden’s record is complete and utter bullshit.

        And he’d lose a lot of votes if more Democrats were aware of it. It really is past the time for propping up excessively cheap fossil fuels. Let’s cut the corporate welfare and start weaning Americans off fossil fuels by setting the expectation that they will get more expensive and less available

          Maybe. I personally have a gas powered vehicle that doesn’t get disabled by software updates and has zero privacy concerns, and no plans to buy a new one any time soon, so lower gas prices are welcome now although I’d like to move to electric later.

          No, I’m not putting myself through that cost right now just for you or anyone else.

            Ideally we get consumer protections that quit all that privacy and anti-repair bs. And we could stop propping up the oil industry and idk… put that money towards helping people transition to other forms of transportation. Improving public transit, micro-mobility, walkable cities, and where necessary electric vehicles.

            We can hold on to our gas vehicles while not going out of our way to artificially prop up gas.

              That’s why I plan to move to electric later. Right now there’s too much fuckery for me to give up a paid-for vehicle. Gas could be $7 per gallon and it would still be cheaper for me than a monthly car payment plus aggravation. Some things need to be addressed before I’m a buyer again.

          Ah yes, let’s make everyone’s lives miserable, ensuring that republicans continue to get elected, and completely fuck ourselves for generations.
