Raising prices for car fuel aren’t fun, but they are a signal that you should buy less of it, not that the government should throw more tax money against it to fund this lifestyle, there are more important things the government has to fund.

It’s weird that I have to write things about conscious government spending as a PRO voter

@smveerman if only we had policies in favor of Public transportation instead of individual Cars for the last 30 years

@gduchaussois at least in the Netherlands there has been quite some investment in public transportation until about 15 years ago, at that time it was put on a money saving parcours and somehow we lost the progress we made, which got even worse during the pandemic.

@smveerman it seems the situation is very different from one place to another even in the same country. Here in France people in big cities complaining about gas price are victims of their choices, in the other part they are victims of political decisions (a bit guilty for their vote still)
