Sounds great! I look forward to your heavy federal investment into mass transit

I bet the trick to lowering health care costs is to need health care less, too.

Adds another lane: drive less!

Stops construction of another public transport project: Drive Less!!

Removes solar power and electric car subsidies: DRIVE Less!

Makes electric bikes illegal: DRIVE LESS!

(Party of freedom, btw)

I do hope they keep it up with the hubris cos that always goes well

So, back to home office, yes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Wright

In 2011, he founded Liberty Energy, then known as Liberty Oilfield Services.[15] As of February 2023, the company was valued at $2.8 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.[16] As the CEO of Liberty Energy, Wright earned $5.6 million in 2023.[11]

Despite Herculean efforts on his part, Chris Wright was ultimately unable to live up to voter expectations of delivering lower fuel prices.

Well we would, if your stupid administration hadn't cut telework for feds.

Stupid stupid stupid.

US government evolution of transportation ideology

1. Walking is for the poors and the idiots
2. Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
3. Public transit is big government and communism and you'll get mugged
4. Cars are driving up gas prices
5. ???
6. PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)

“Let them eat cake”

If Dems said that before the '24 election, to eat less food and drive less to save money, everyone would go mad lol, but this magafool says it and they cool with it.

Wait until he figures out that wfh is a great way to reduce driving

Hope all the miserable assholes who voted for stopping electrification feel it in every part of them. I hope they have to give up on real, meaningful life dreams forever because they are now unaffordable. And I hope their houses specifically burn down in the wildfires the CO2 from their gasoline made so common.

I am beyond done with this gasoline bullshit.

Great suggestion! The US has great public transit /s… wait… no…

Right wing "solutions" to difficulties are always insincere, unreasonable nonsense like this.

Can't pay your bills? Eat less! Can't afford medical care? Shouldn't have been unhealthy! Gas prices killing you? Drive less! Depressed and burned out? Just be happy and work harder! You think billionaires are greedy? Well what charities are you giving to!? Tired of capitalist exploitation? Stop buying stuff and go live in the woods! You love immigrants? Well then let them all live in your home!

Victim blaming dressed up as rugged individualism. Meanwhile those actually responsible for the hardships get off scot-free.

I drive to and from dialysis three times per week, and to the occasional medical appointment. Which of those exactly should I be skipping?

Guess I’ll stop going to work….hmm…maybe I can get some of those WFH days back now that I’m limited to 1 per week?

We'll all drive less when gas is $15/gal

The trick to having less fascists in control is to eliminate fascists.

They are also encouraging auto makers to lower gas mileage. Keep bragging how awesome oil company stocks, and dependant US allies, are thanks to Iran war.

No new wars would have been nice.

Eating less will solve food prices a bit. Just not eating will solve it entirely. And sleeping outside under a bush or in a nice box solves your housing issues. With all your problems solved we'll be looking for you to work some longer hours.

Best way to lower energy prices is to vote out the republicans.

Driving less? The hell with that. I'm not going to drive at all. I'll be saving all the gas money!

Great, so who is going to force the RTO M-F bosses to at least let us be hybrid?

Ok then the administration should push all employers to make any position that is able a work from home decision. But we all know that won't happen, got to protect those commercial real estate profits!

I assume he doesn't think this should be paired with ramping up public transit options and bike and pedestrian friendly infrastructure

Now if people only had a choice to live in evil "15min cities" where distances are much shorter and feasible alternatives to driving are available and affordable, they actually could do that, without quality of life collapsing. Oh wait, having a non miserable life is no criterion for this administration, then forget that socialist 15 min nonsense, just drive less.

Says the same group that said they lowered COVID rates by not reporting them

And meanwhile, here in the UK, the average is $8.40 per US gallon at the current exchange rate.

welp looks like I am doing the right thing

I don't understand why the generation that snacked on lead paint chips is allowed to be in charge of this country.

that won't work. if everyone were to stop driving or relying on gas tomorrow. the oil companies would still raise the price because they are now "losing money" due to low demand and have to raise prices to make up for the make-believe money they are "losing"

MAGA, the O&G companies and Elon Musk installed Trump because they wanted us to drive less? That was their plan all along? We all believe that ...

Yeah you stupid pay pigs, don't you know economics!? Supply and demand! Just stop demanding the resource we spent decades making indispensable and kept artificially scarce!

yes, you seeee, you peasants need to stop taking your private jets on unnecessary jaunts.

The broken clock strikes again.

You can pry my demand destruction from my cold hands by crashing the economy and laying me off!
