    I drive like 40 miles a week max on average. I won’t really be impacted by rising gas prices. MAGAts on the other hand, tend to drive quite a bit, and own cars with shitty gas mileage. I hope they have the day they voted for. I also hope they drown to death in 2 inches of water

      Does everything else you buy get delivered to the shops by cargo bike?

      You may not pay for it at the pump, but I guarantee you’re still paying.

        Even when gas prices don’t go up, companies still raise prices arbitrarily to boost shareholder profits. The excuse may be different now, but they were always going to raise prices

        You’re confusing what is for what could be. And that “could be” could be implemented quite rapidly in an emergency situation.
