The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

Hopefully they keep going up, to the point where we stop using oil and gas period.

I'm ready for $300 a gallon gasoline and $50,000 in heating fuel tomorrow please.

Many people cannot afford electric cars, and charging stations aren't always available in rural areas/small towns

As a pro-environment person, I don't give a sh**t about whether you can afford an electric car.

If gas prices are that high, what are the working class in areas lacking in public transit supposed to do to get around. How are they supposed to heat their homes?

We did just fine using natural fire as fuel.

In large numbers, wouldn't that be even worse for the environment than having ability to use gas?

Yes, hence why I've suggested before that human extinction (or at a minimum a dramatic reduction in the human population) is kind of necessary if climate change is to be avoided.

But none of this is my decision to make, and if humanity wants to end life on earth, we should let them.

Always fun to start digging into someone's statements and get through to their true root beliefs.

Treasurer's signature quotes me. GMac's signature quotes some guy called Primo Levi. Easy choice.

I forgot that was my signature since I have signatures turned off.

Primo Levi is a Holocaust survivor who wrote two books, Survival in Auschwitz and The Drowned and the Saved, that I read during COVID when I was going through depression as a result of close family members dying.  I appreciated the notion that there was some inherent faculty in human nature that rejected the extremes of experience and pulled inevitably towards the medium instead of driving the self deeper and deeper into unhappiness.
