Unfortunately the vast majority of the US public is uninformed and ignorant, and do not care about a single thing beyond what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. And what they remember yesterday was paying $6 for gas.
If that’s what it takes to ruin the Nazi’s public support, so be it.
A lot of the public doesn’t have the excess capacity to operate beyond a day or so. As designed by the system.
They get up, commute to work maybe an hour, work 9 hours, including an unpaid lunch break, commute back an hour, spend maybe an hour or so with kids helping with homework before they need to go to bed. So that’s 12 or 13 hours there, not including time for anything like cooking, grocery shopping, hygiene, etc. so let’s add a couple hours on for that daily. So we’re at 15 hours now. They try to get 8 hours for sleep.
So in the end we’re at 1 extra hour for them to try and keep up to date on everything in the world. Easiest way to do that is nightly news, and then we have the biases that come from that.

That’s why I’m excited for the oil reserves to run out. We will look back at $6 gas and remember how good we used to have it.
The flip-side is that they’re also willing to let Russia overrun Ukraine if it means avoiding $6 gas.
