Not that the price of gas isn't important, but I do find it utterly depressing that CNN's website has a constant ticker showing how the Iran War has increased the price of gas and not the number of people killed or wounded.
I totally agree.
I'm getting really sick, like physically sick, of the amount of things I am seeing that all boil down to the price of fuel.
Especially in a culture that is as obsessed with cars as Australia is.
"Oh my god! There's a war! Now it's going to cost me an extra five bucks to fill my massive for no reason, emotional support vehicle/penis extension and drive around for hours projecting my status to others!"
"People are actually dying."
"Yeah, well, they're not me so who cares. But the fuel prices! Oh! The humanity! Something must be done! Wait, can we kill two birds with one stone and just start using people as fuel? If this carries on I might have to consider walking the five hundred yards to the store!"
