$4.59 a gallon
$74.00 for a tank of gas
5,068 miles to Kyiv, Ukraine from my home
3,010,209 Kyiv citizens
2 weeks into the Russian invasion
44,000,000 terrified citizens of Ukraine
~2,000,000 Ukraine people are now refugees.
-----------
$4.59 a gallon is a price I can pay.
(But, seriously, I might start driving less.)
This is exactly the perspective we should all have. I’m disgusted by those who whine about the price of gas, especially those who drive gas-guzzling ginormous vehicles. It’s as though no one learned anything from the 1970s. And we would not have this problem if we’d as a nation listened to Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and countless others who have rung the climate change warning bell.
ReplyDeleteQuite an unfolding story, by the numbers. I appreciate your perspective(s).
ReplyDeleteGreat post. The cost of freedom is enormous or ginormous, as mentioned above.
