Flashback to 08: The Joy of $8 Gas

[Weatherman2020]

The Left have dreamt of fabricating these prices for awhile now.

“Cheap gas is unfair. Driving creates huge social costs in the form of traffic, health-damaging pollution and global warming that aren’t suffered solely by the person buying the gasoline. Governments usually set up idiotic systems to offset such social costs (emissions trading, ethanol subsidies, taco truck regulations) instead of forcing individuals to pay for their own mess by adding a tax to remedy the imbalance. That kind of tax -- the most fair kind, really -- is called a Pigovian tax, and its use is why gas costs $8 to $10 a gallon in Europe, where they have fewer road deaths even though they drive like complete idiots.”

I love $4 gas. It makes me appreciate freedom.

You seriously created a thread to whine about a stupid thing that was said 14 years ago? You really need a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Or a dog.

No, not a dog. No telling what you'd do to that poor thing.

Another blast from the past to pucker your sphincter:
“Under my plan energy prices will necessarily skyrocket.”

I've been pointing out for a while that the shortages we started experiencing during Covid (and have continued through the shipping crisis and now high fuel costs) and the inflation we're "enjoying" now are not just unintended consequences of current circumstances, but have always been part and parcel of leftist ideology. They have ALWAYS hated the freedom and luxury enjoyed by common people in the United States. They have always been outraged everyday Americans don't live like serfs and peons, with luxuries reserved to elites as rewards for their wonderfulness. They've been trying to push this through environmentalism for a long time, and got no traction. If these stupid bastards could pass sumptuary laws, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

Why too much choice is stressing us out

From jeans to dating partners and TV subscriptions to schools, we think the more choices we have the better. But too many options create anxiety. Could one answer lie in a return to state monopolies?

Today's abundance of consumer options can stall our decision-making and even wear away our well-being. But there are solutions.

Why you find it hard to pick your lunch or a Netflix show, according to new research

New research suggests more choice isn't always better, and the ideal amount of options may be between 8 and 15. In our lives, we are inundated with choice, and it can mean we often end up picking nothing as a result.

I could go on and on with examples, reaching back years, of the left telling us how much better off the world would be if Americans lived more like the Third World.

Have you noticed that you have nothing to say that's actually worth the air it takes to say it?
