Wait, how is this a hot take? We as taxpayers subsidize gas heavily. We know how bad internal combustion engines are for the environment. Our climate is causing catastrophic disasters at an increased scale and frequency. I think it's about time we begin to stop subsidising the oil & gas industry.

Yeah two comments and both are refreshingly agreeable. I've shared this previously on reddit or twitter and responses are all "wow you hate the working class" or "there isn't a train from my apartment to my place of work so I need gas"
