Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.

“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.

Are you by chance American and a free market fundamentalist or a rugged individualist?

A country asking its citizens publicly to pull together in adressing national risks is a very normal healthy thing to do. It offers obvious direct benefits. That you are confused by this, I find disturbing.

Edit: consider the possibility that your cultural programming may be incorrect in at least some important ways.
