One way I framed this to my followers last week was, you know, you're going to save $10 a month on gas.

If the government sent you a check once a month for $10 to help you pay for gas...

Would you be excited about that or would that actually make you angry because it's such a pittance?

And I think when you think about it in those terms, people are like, yeah, that would like I probably wouldn't even cash it.

Like, I'd probably throw it away.

I'd be so angry.

So I'm I'm with you.

I do oppose the gas tax.

I think it.

Does that really?

Yes.

Yeah.

The suspension.

We should have a gas tax.

Yeah.

I oppose the suspension as well.

And I did in 2022.

One thing that I think is getting missed in all the messaging, because there's a lot of energy experts right now shaking their heads or scratching their heads that gas hasn't hit $5 a gallon yet.

because this disruption is significantly worse than the OPEC 2020 deal, plus the Russia-Ukraine war, and with all that going on in 2022 that drove gas prices up.

I think a lot of people are missing the fact that over 60 million EVs have hit the market since 2022, and that has removed almost, not quite, but almost 3 million barrels of oil a day of demand.
