Who is insisting that people making minimum wage should just buy a 50k electric car? I can see why the faux types would say that as it gets nutters wound up.
And you don't want the guv bureaucrats to come up with the solution, but is it ok they already stacked it in favor of the problematic side. One is ok to some people and the other isn't. That is why we are where we are. It's all about money and picking teams. Ironically, demand and therefore consumption and therefore prices and would be a lot lower if it weren't from the ff industry grip on politicians, particulary the nutters.

You can't BUY a $15,000 Corolla. Whether on minimum wage or not.
Most of us here are not minimum wage and can grumpily withstand $4/gal fuel more easily than new parents or those starting out.
We have two problems, immediate supply and pricing of fuels that is hampered by Biden Admin, and long term converting where applicable from fossil fuels to more safe power generation" Nuke, some NatGas, and renewables.
And it really means squat if we do all this work and China, India, and others do not. We are sure AF cleaner drilling for oil, extracting it, and processing it than just about anyone else.
And yes, the GUV bureaucrats can't outline a plan that will get us from where we are to where we need to be. If they did you would have seen some. Instead we'll have stupid unimplementable requirements like those in the Green New Deal. But sure, right wing talking points.
