Gas prices are like $3 in GA. At what point is gas cheap enough for people to be happy?

As long as I see an inch of sidewalk or a cyclist anywhere on the road, gas is too expensive

It's about who's in charge, if Trump were still in office the same interviews would have people talking about how glad they are that he held the line on gas prices.

double posting but this is absolutely incredible lol

quote:

First off, big conflict of interest here. Casey is a co-founder of Terraform Industries, so he is not a neutral party in this discussion, and he should have disclosed that. Given that Casey seems to believe that his company may be able to sell synthetic jet fuel, America shifting some of its transit from airplanes to HSR would have a negative impact on his company’s potential future profits.

dumb hyperloop guy founded a grift startup to make synthetic jet fuel and used that to argue that airplanes will be greener and more environment-friendly -- once his fuel is ready
he also did not disclose that he is the founder lmfao

I was gonna say, what idiot plotted it that way rather than as two lines on a graph with time as the x axis? Gas price on one y axis, approval on the other.

The only true law is that which leads to freedom. There is no other.



why would you not just have two line graphs. you can even visually overlap them which would be a hell of a lot more honest about the data than whatever the heck that thing is

i would personally turn one of the axes in that graph to logarithmic scale. for giggles

fun fact you can just drive straight onto the trail at Fullerton (and if what the twitter reply is true, is probably what that guy did)

there's not even a curb

edit: there's lots of places you can do it around belmont harbor too, idk why the city won't put bollards there
