Why? Because the alternative will lead to people watching their loved ones get hurt or die. People are used to a peaceful existence for the most part, and particularly in the US, food and medicine being regularly available.
If we have to shoot our way out, many will pay a grave cost. I’m not saying it’s not a potential outcome, and if it comes to that, it is what it is, but I don’t blame people for wanting to find any alternative that doesn’t involve the complete social collapse of a civilization.

Their negligence lead to death and injury.
The medical field always seems to get infinite leeway when it comes to the rules written in blood.
How would you feel if your house burned down because your electrician was “understaffed” and “just needed to blow off some steam”.
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 2 weeks ago:
Its a matter of abundance and where the government decides that abundance can go. Desal is expensive, but you have all the energy you need to power it flowing out of the ground, the cost is somewhat defrayed.
The Gulf states chose to hoard the wealth at the top and build major hubs without reliable public transit. Which is reflective of a policy decision. Its also a matter of what refineries are where and what grade of oil they will process.
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 3 weeks ago:
That is a policy decision. In places like Saudi Arabia, gas is cheaper than water.
Norway, correctly, invested more into EVs, and high gas prices encourage that.
