People just think of gas differently in this country.
I've seen a couple people posting along the lines of "Thanks to Biden's gas prices, my husband is now bicycling to work!"
And my thought is, well, yeah. You are responding to the increasing price of a commodity by consuming less of it. That's how things work. The price of beef goes up, you buy more chicken. The price of chicken goes up, you buy more beef.
But people just don't think that way about gas. They consider it a human right for gas to be < $2.00/gal. and anything more than that is an affront to existence.
That's a huge problem for Biden b/c this isn't a problem that he can solve.
