what part of america is collapsing did you not understand

>>49971764
Just get a bike

>>49971794
>Gets bike
>Now has to wake up at 3 AM to get to my work by 8

>>49971764
My minimum wage job where I live literally could not afford a gallon of gas, and the workplace I drive to is a lengthy distance too. I quit and will kill myself now, hopefully a quick death but if not then bleach with rat poison will have to do

>>49971764
Anon. Let me tell you something. Imagine you stated "I want to boycott the sun and it's light". The current you, would recognize that such a statement is retarded. The other anons would respond in a similar fashion. That's an equivalent statement to "let's boycott gas". Gas is necessary for more than A to B commuting. And it's also not going to be replaced by Electricity, even in the future, because I can assure you the world will soon enough realize that EVs pollute more than ICE vehicles, it's just that the pollution is more erratic and is also delegated to third world nations. There's no way to escape this other than using Hydrogen as fuel in cars and that's a few hundred years from happening (the CAD models look good, and they also look unrealistic even with composite materials). The only way out of high gas prices is, like JPM's commodity chief said:
>More investment in both extraction and refineries with legal guarantees that it won't be impeded by governments
>ESG throw into the garbage where it belongs
>Increase redundancy in the independence of juridically risky nations such as China or Russia

That's basically it. Right now, Germany is starting up coal plants to try and combat the energy crisis. Once more, demonizing gas and oil, hurts the environment more than investing in said tech.

>>49971764
No. America is addicted to oil and it's built into our urban fabric, or lack thereof.

We doomed our inner cities and our government subsidized it. You are a slave to your car.

>>49971794
America is built on roads for cars. High gas prices is fucking it hard

>>49971764
>wagies don't buy gas for a day
>wagies instead buy gas the following day
boycotting essentials doesn't work.

>>49971764
You will buy the gas.

>>49971959
>>49971764
the answer to all of this was permanent wfh for ALL jobs that allow it. but like anything else, it was pearls before nigger cattle swine.

>be amerishart
>live inna suburbia nightmare
>literally cannot boycott fuel because there are no trains or buses where you live
>can't bike because the only road to get anywhere from your suburb is a 6 lane giga highway and you will get pasted trying to bike along it
>also it would take at least an hour of biking to even get to the local shartmart, let alone your workplace

Man the oiljew really did a number on you guys. Shouldn't have been so smug about those giant trucks huh? Have fun with $10 "gas" fat fucks HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>49972233
America is 50x bigger than you're urban euro country

>>49972367
Nah this is sweet karma for you fat fucks being such obnoxious shitfaggots and your collective tears are so delicious I can taste them through the screen.

>>49971938
Peak oil will happen within the decade kek

>>49972419
>America is... le big!

You aren't driving from New York to Kansas everyday fucking larpers, you fat cunts go from suburb>shartmart>work>suburb and rarely elsewhere. 99% of you fat cunts don't drive much further than any other given suburb dweller elsewhere on the planet except unlike them you have literally no choice except to drive lmao. You were smug about your trucks and laughing at the rest of the planet driving sensible sized cars and work vehicles, now time to pay mr shekelstein goy.

>>49972426
You doing ok anon? You seem really frustrated and angry about something.
t. In better shape than you and not concerned

>>49972505
I'm doing just great anon, the schadenfreude is fantastic.

>>49972503
Are you having a psychotic episode

>>49971764
I got gas for $3.98 today in South Carolina

>>49971794
>Just ride for 3 hours a day in 100 degree heat

>>49971949
No one cares /n/igger

>>49972503
>You aren't driving from New York to Kansas everyday fucking larpers
Truckers have to do shit like that, dumb fuck

>>49971794
My work is 10+ miles away. And I have to drive 30 minutes to 2 hours to job sites every day.

>>49971764
Uh, yes, but good luck getting people to participate

>>49972631
Wow and truckers don't drive long distances elsewhere on the planet? Australia? Russia? Brazil? Canada? Stupid self centered fat fucks.

>>49972503
>sensible sized cars
yeah ill pass on your 2 cylinder ecotec engine that can barely take your groceries back and forth

>>49972233
>he thinks that expensive gas is the end of this country ?

Can someone explain to me what's wrong with americans and their gas prices?

Gasoline in Europe is twice more expensive, I don't get why americans make it a big deal for paying about 1$/litre. Weren't americans supposed to be rich as fuck?

>>49972573
He clearly seems to either be upset or not feeling well. It’s been a very odd string of posts from him.

>>49972660
No

>>49972503
And do you also not realize that since the last oil shock in 2008 our cars get around 10 more miles per gallon? We’ve adjusted our consumption patterns. We’re fine

>>49972661
>The only thing smaller than an f-350 is a smart car

Nice cherry pick amerifat

>>49972671
And by Europe I don't mean only wealthy countries like Denmark or Switzerland, gas prices in shitholes like Greece or Portugal are over 2€/litre.

>>49972671
trump era it was sub 80 cents for 1 liter at one point i'm pretty sure

now it's a dollar 30 per liter for perspective

>>49972692
please show me your concept of a sensible sized car
>t. /o/ fag

>>49972671
50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck

>>49971777
Truth!
>>49971764 a Oil and gas Boycott is part of the problem!

>>49972710
You can pick pretty much any sedan not made in fat cunt land. Toyota Corolla, Honda Accord, whatever.

>>49972699
I understand it was a big increase in %, but is it really that important for americans who make so much more money? It's still cheap as fuck, I remember when I was a kid and the gas prices reached 1€/litre for the first time in my country, my dad didn't give a fuck. Nowadays I'm paying almost 130€ for a full 60L tank and people aren't going out on the streets either.

>>49972710
Not this anon but any coupe/sedan is probably fine. A 'sensible-sized car' in my mind is one the average retard can parallel park without much issue. a 3 series would be a good example, and obviously there are more economical/cheaper options

>>49972486
Well the US government been saying that since 1867!

>>49972758
Enjoy the cheap crackling plastic of a BMW

>>49972794
And what do you have

>>49972742
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BQNDBQdkDk

this is what you're getting with basically any jap car

>>49972758
3 series sedans and bmws are notorious for their repair costs so you're essentially paying for the gas you save driving one

>>49972612
Hey at least you ain't gonna be a fat faggot anymore

>>49972839
>Sam Hyde skit

Ok

>>49972821
An absolute piece of shit Ford

>>49972860
paints the point pretty well you just don't want to listen to someone who knows more than you and drives something that gets the same mileage and isnt a piece of shit

>>49972851
Okay, sure. So a cheaper, more reliable option: a 20 year old civic. If cost and reliability are your main issues, consider a hybrid. Still the same size, fits my 'retard can parallel park this without backing in 7 times' criteria, and about as affordable as one can get

>>49972839
That me in a Ford pickup!

>>49972878
He doesn't know shit, he's a fucking pedophile who abuses 14 year olds he uses his fame to get with.

>>49972879
fair

>>49971764
These things end with gas guzzlers flooding the market.
Personally I always wanted an RX350. I’m hoping to pick one up for 15-20k, with less than 100k miles on it.

>>49972912
>This guy did x so he can't talk about x
Got it so you're just a faggot

>>49972821
>>49972866
With that being said, I've dealt with many BMWs and anything pre-2014 is bad, mercedes are way better quality, but honnestly Id just buy a Honda or Toyota simply because its more reliable and gas prices just make no sense anymore, also this current car market is peak inflationary so there is no point in buying really, every car has doubled in price lately.

>>49972839
Manlet Chads win again

>>49972932
You're coping, he literally doesn't know shit.

Man you been drinking the koolaid, I see!

>>49971949
Stfu retard. The US is a gigantic country. It's not like those tiny ass yuropoor countries half the size of Texas. Trying to have mass transit to every location in the US is impossible. Personal vehicles are needed.
