I’d like to see real, not falsely deflated, gas prices in the US. Ideally, it would create a pissed off nation that would force governance to actually take the concept of public transport seriously for the first time in over a century.
The reality is, it would just harm so many people in such a terrible way. Exactly because our transport infrastructure is so terrible, people would literally be stranded, unable to afford fuel to carry out the basics of their daily lives.
We’d be priced more similarly to the UK. People really don’t know how much gas costs. They just see that x amount of dollars per barrel of oil cost and think that’s it
The single reason that gas is sold cheap in the United States is because the government subsidizes the hell out of it

Big oil dug us a big terrible hole to get out of.
