In the 1970s oil crisis, governments (at least here in Sweden) responded by rationing the limited supply. 👍🏻

In the 2020s instead the governments instead are subsidizing the oil by lowering taxes (at least UK but here in Sweden the opposition is already arguing for it). Can I get off mad world, please? As oil and gas are burning and oil reserves are being opened and nothing is sequestered and the climate has a fever, this is not the response I want.

@Sandra Would be so easy to put pressure on companies to allow working from home as default again (maybe by subsidizing the cost of the unused office space), and put more cash into public transportation.
