welp looks like I am doing the right thing

I do hope they keep it up with the hubris cos that always goes well

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Wright

In 2011, he founded Liberty Energy, then known as Liberty Oilfield Services.[15] As of February 2023, the company was valued at $2.8 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.[16] As the CEO of Liberty Energy, Wright earned $5.6 million in 2023.[11]

Despite Herculean efforts on his part, Chris Wright was ultimately unable to live up to voter expectations of delivering lower fuel prices.

“Let them eat cake”

When doing the "right thing" happens to overlap with the "Right" thing, it just ruins the feel-good for me.

I bet the trick to lowering health care costs is to need health care less, too.

Sounds great! I look forward to your heavy federal investment into mass transit

We'll all drive less when gas is $15/gal

Aha! You've figured out their ingenuous strategy! /s

But seriously, what in the smooth-brained bullshit is this kind of logic?!

Yeah, supply and demand, lower demand and prices decrease

The broken clock strikes again.

Rickyism 101: "supply and command... you need supply, I command you not to"

(not like that)

Ricky is smarter and compassionate than anybody we have now.

Jimmy Carter ass suggestion

No new wars would have been nice.

It's the same shit they did & still do with COVID-19 testing. 'If we do less tests, there will be less cases recorded! Problem solved!'

Great, so who is going to force the RTO M-F bosses to at least let us be hybrid?

Hope all the miserable assholes who voted for stopping electrification feel it in every part of them. I hope they have to give up on real, meaningful life dreams forever because they are now unaffordable. And I hope their houses specifically burn down in the wildfires the CO2 from their gasoline made so common.

I am beyond done with this gasoline bullshit.

Gas in my region is well over $5 a gallon I don't notice because we went from 2 cars to 1, and the one is an EV.

Meanwhile I STILL see these absolute morons buying huge gas suvs and trucks because.. They need to? Always have a bullshit excuse that's always easily debunked.

Y'all buying gas by the hour?

Ha, at this point I wouldn't be surprised. Fixed it!

I drive to and from dialysis three times per week, and to the occasional medical appointment. Which of those exactly should I be skipping?

You can just electrify on your own though, regardless of what the government wants.

You could skip all of them if you take a bus /train/bike. This is of course if you have the option. I don't know your situation.

BREAKING NEWS: World hunger finally stopped, thanks to US officials suggesting to just “eat more food, if you are hungry”.

There are a lot of things people can do on their own... in a world where the median US income isn't $45,000 and responsible and capable products aren't tariffed to hell.

Mass adoption comes with affordability which comes with support and clear, intentional direction. Consumers don't shift paradigms when they think the new paradigm won't go anywhere. We can't even get people off of X - and that costs NOTHING.

Electrifying on your own is prohibitively expensive for most people, and the fact that those people have to be prepared to also pay an additional premium because they're fighting their own government at the same time, in a period in time where people can barely afford FOOD, is not tenable.

dialysis three times per week

/bike

Well we would, if your stupid administration hadn't cut telework for feds.

Stupid stupid stupid.

Ok then the administration should push all employers to make any position that is able a work from home decision. But we all know that won't happen, got to protect those commercial real estate profits!

I mean, than they should provide good, affordable public transportation.

US government evolution of transportation ideology

1. Walking is for the poors and the idiots
2. Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
3. Public transit is big government and communism and you'll get mugged
4. Cars are driving up gas prices
5. ???
6. PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)

So, back to home office, yes?

Yeah fuck this guy, let's air drop him into Iran.

Using energy costs more money than not using it. With the amount of people flying every day don't tell me cost is the problem.

With the amount of people flying every day don’t tell me cost is the problem.

Cost is part of the problem.

"Build the wall! Lock her up! Drain the swamp!"

lol

lmao even

No thanks, you can keep him.

Guess I’ll stop going to work….hmm…maybe I can get some of those WFH days back now that I’m limited to 1 per week?

E-Bike? E-Scooter? That's easier than walking depending on how far away you park.

Sounds like socialism.

We are at $10.20/Galllon (2.30€/L) and I am so happy I do not need a car.

Best way to lower energy prices is to vote out the republicans.

I think I twisted my ankle. Should probably cut off my foot.

That guy is a genius! Not even an expert in the obvious would've went there. Can we make his "bonuses" even more grotesquely huge? /s

of course if you have the option.

And there is the root of the problem.

Those options are increasingly not available in American cities

E-Bike? E-Scooter?

Not when there is a 6 lane freeway between you and your destination.

They are also encouraging auto makers to lower gas mileage. Keep bragging how awesome oil company stocks, and dependant US allies, are thanks to Iran war.

Dumbass, you think the median person is flying everyday??
