This is you right, calling on car companies to produce even more vehicles?

Gas prices are largely controlled by OPEC, which the USA isn’t even part of.
Thank you for all your colorful annotations.
Pulling things out of context I see... That thread was about supply and demand being unbalanced leading to scalping. It doesn't matter if it's cars, GPUs, PS5s or . It's how economy works.
Why didn’t you tell everyone to just ride bikes
Because for the half of people that take longer trips some might consider bikes unsuitable. And for the half that does take short trips I doubt they would care or even consider it, just like you. But I guess that's enough offtopic for this thread. So if you want to take the car out for a 2km trip go for it, as for me 8'll just walk it, I don't mind a bit of rain or snow as I specifically chose a city that is walkable so I got all I need in 30 mins walking distance or bus ride. I don't even need a car inside the city unless grabbing something heavier from the supply store, but even for that I can go see the item in the store and they will deliver it. Definetly not a daily thing tho
