For that matter, the Norwegians had $5 a gallon gas back in the 1980s WHILE PUMPING FROM THE NORTH SEA AND SELLING IT. Along with a 115% tax on new cars with internal combustion engines and a 25% rate in EVs.

Which is how a country with less than 6 million people got themselves a $2 TRILLION sovereign wealth fund, increasing by about a quarter TRILLION each year.

I don’t see how that answers my question at all.

When did I say I have a conception of true poverty at all? We’re all upper middle class airline pilots in the US. Probably 0.1%ers worldwide. What’s your point?
