I did that just for you. 

It's called humor, sarcasm. 

Filet Mignon. Being a bad speller does not mean I am stupid. You, in this instance fell for it. And the worst part is you completely miss the intent of the humor/political cometary. 

If I started a post with the subject "The moon is nut made of brie cheese" you'd miss the fact that the moon is not made of cheese. 

Lincoln was not a veempire, or polltar glist either. Movees have been maid about Lincoln being a veempire. Pretty sure you can figure out the sarcasm in that.

No, that’s not what sarcasm is. But you keep trying.

What movies have been made about Lincoln being a vampire?

Yeah, that gas crisis was a bad one for the one whole day that everyone freaked the fuck out and starting filling up grocery bags with gasoline.

Long term, I have long since been angry at even liberal media outlets, who harp on gas prices as much as Fart's news, but I have to agree, seeing morons fill grocery bags/trash bags, really makes one think, "REALLY"?

I get that humans, no matter their politics, don't like having their lives becoming harder by higher prices. But the truth still remains, our species needs to move away from burning fossil fuels. I've gotten lots of flack about "what are you personally doing about it". That misses the point that don't have the national or global power or am I a CEO. If change is going to be made, those globally at the top have the most responsibility.

No, everyone has to contribute in whatever way they can.

No, it doesn’t miss the point at all. If a billion people drive a billion fewer miles, turn off a billion lights when they leave a billion rooms, purchase a billion fewer electric swizzle sticks and so on, the impact will be real and measurable. Saying that you aren’t a CEO and don’t have national or global power is simply a rather sad excuse to continue to be part of the problem.

STILL MISSING THE POINT.

The bullshit claim of "supply and demand" does not take into account that the CEOs market, and tell you what you want, even if that product is not practical or healthy. 

Big oil for over a century, even when in the early 1900s were on the edge of solar/battery technology, the Oil CEOs constantly fought and squashed any attempt to compete with them. Tobacco did the same. 

Even today, unlike some of our allies, America sells hard spirits on TV, and back when I was a kid, they did not. If big tobacco could get back on TV they would. 

It ultimately amounts in all cases about human greed, not practicality, not safety, but MONEY. 

And bullshit. While the little guy can collectively be the "David" vs "Goliath" the easier path is for those in power to stop being dicks.

You make my point for me. Thank you.
