I don’t know why that is so difficult to understand. I had a leftist PhD I work with here ask me to join them on the 15th against the eeevil oil companies. I asked her if she would need to get gas on the 14 or 16th to get to work. I got a slightly confused stare, then a yes. This woman has a PhD!
I also had a left leaning woman ask me to join the 15 boycott. I asked her if she intended to change her driving habits for the day or just not buy fuel. She had the “deer in the headlights” look. I told her the best way to cut her fuel bill in half is ride to work with a neighbor and drive every other week or by 2/3 by riding with two other people.
When I told her to carpool to work with a neighbor or friend, she said that was impossible in case one of her kids might get sick at school. I asked her how many times in the past two years she had to leave work to pick up a sick kid. That really ticked her off and she started babbling. I said, “I bet you haven’t had to take off time to get a sick kid in quite some time”. She left and was huffing and puffing as she walked away.
