      Gas prices mean nothing if you can take the train. Every time gas prices jump, people start thinking about alternatives. Might be pretty sick, actually.

      I, for one, would be whole lot poorer and a whole lot hungrier.

      Idk where you get your food from, but mine comes from a store up the road a bit and is mostly delivered using vehicles that use gasoline to deliver it there.

        Of course, that would never change in the face of changing financial incentives. The world as it is is the world as it ought to be.
