        In all honesty they could use this tax and an extra oil tax to subsidise the shit out of solar and EVs

          Yeah, except everyone has had it beaten into them - nobody fucks with gas prices.

          Every news outlet in the country runs the same news segment practically daily - “Let’s complain about gas prices”. We’ve somehow made it the subject of basically nonstop discussion.

            Every time someone brings up gas prices I’mma just be like: “you know where the cheapest gas prices are? Electricity.”

            I mean, there is a case for discussing gas prices since it’s the price of mobile energy for everything from tractors to trucking to electricity. The gas price, specifically crude oil price, used to be synonymous with energy prices so any increase in oil price would mean a major hit to cost-of-living increases.

            It’s outdated as hell.
