as much as I don’t like high gas prices, it is simple economics. think what you may but you don’t HAVE to buy gas (much less own a vehicle). you can live closer to where you work, work closer to where you live (both are up to you), or use alternative means to travel. you have two feet. bikes are cheap. … or quit your bitching and realize we still have it REALLY good compared to the rest of the world re: gasoline
gas is not a “basic need” - we’ve just come to THINK of it as one…
