I know everything uses fossil fuel. I know food prices will go even higher. I know it's a shitty situation. But fuck the oil industry. I don't have a car amd I'll take this small victory. I'm so glad not to have to worry about buying this shit.

The world was warned decades ago that it should wean off fossil fuel and we just continue burning it anyway. It's like cocaine. This shit is bad for the environment but it's also bad for energetic independence and world peace. Oil is a geopolitical nightmare. Even within oil producing countries. This shit sucks.

And the worse part is, I don't think something like this will change the habits of much people or businesses. We will all just demand cheap oil and gas to quench our thirst for energy. The rest is collateral damage.
