We'll use less and cut more as prices go up. How much colder can we keep the house this winter? Last year the thermostats were set at 60. Do we set them at 50 this year?
It's about someone other than the wealthiest being able to go *anywhere* if they don't live on transit lines. It's about having any options at all other than starving, not having multiple options.
If it takes lines to ensure that there's enough to go around at a reasonable price, OK. Those who then want more than others can pay $10 a gallon. Provide a way for the average family and vital infrastructure (fire, medical, etc.) to get what they need at a price they can afford, and then make the rest available at true market prices with no caps.
