    Yeah Americans don’t realize how relatively cheap gas is here. There seems to be an entitled attitude that they deserve to drive the biggest obnoxious vehicle they can get.

    We’re fully EV and the price of gas is no longer relevant to our daily lives. On the other hand, data centers keep driving up the price of electricity, but that can only change like twice a year and hasn’t been as bad as this gas spike.

      It will be relevant to your lives when it increases the price of food and everything else. The transportation industry doesn’t have EVs, and they won’t absorb the costs. I’m sure you know this, but you’re not as insulated from this as you make it out to be.

        And we can all turn to the nearest American when looking who to blame. They voted for this and actively support this.

          most Americans did not, in fact, vote for this. most Americans do not, in fact, actively support this.
