I would like to add that the money Bob gets to buy food returns directly into the economy, thus helping to pay Kevin the mall manager AND Floyd the country boy

Depends on Bob’s car I guess?

I mean, Bob needs food to survive long enough to buy some gasoline. Bob won’t buy Shell’s gasoline if he dies.

Ava then we get to party even more money at the pump when they feel like charging more. Despite us subsidizing them.

So let’s stop subsidizing oil.

Lol, oil has made certain no one will go after them. Gas prices are the presidents responsibility, apparently. So even if you tried, once the raving lunatics catch wind that rolling coal will cost an extra 100 bucks they lose their God damn minds and you will lose at the polls.

Which is why we need to a) increase electric car and grid potential, to choke them out, and b) increase better public transit with mixed zoning for easy-to-use cities.

While these are definitely big, and by no means easy to accomplish, solutions, they will help us move away from a car centric society that is hamstringed by oil.

Also, maybe some eco terrorists can help, but I’ll let them keep me out of the loop.

Hey I’m sure if we find a reason to look hard enough there is a reason to kick down on Bob, or whatever reason the law needs. Shell makes JOBS, bob just … ugh… works. Not real ‘owner’ energy bob.
