    As an American: because gas has to compete. You can’t ask to go to the cheap hospital, they don’t even usually tell you the price before administering medicine. So hospitals charge what they’d like and that’s that. Gas prices are highly competitive and we’re one of the world’s primary oil producers and refiners. Additionally the Biden administration has been using our strategic oil reserves to stabilize gas prices.






  • Why do i understand immigration policy so much better than a former president of the United States‽ I’m a fucking engineer! But I understand that people seeking asylum are not coming in from mental institutions, they’re coming from oppressive regimes and inhospitable areas (natural, political, criminal, or otherwise) and seeking to invoke their basic human rights in accordance with international treaties that we signed in the wake of the Holocaust saying that people have the right to bypass borders to ensure a basic level of safety and freedom.
