one of my least favorite types of guy who is "into politics" is the type of guy who thinks the head of state controls/decides the gas prices
the way some people talk it seems like they think that every morning the president/prime minister/chancellor of whatever country wakes up and the first thing they do is go to a computer terminal where they just type in a random number per gallon/liter of gasoline
@vriska there's just a big red 'economy' button that the president has to mash constantly
@vriska

There's this really weird belief that the government benefits directly from private companies' revenue
