Why not?
Oil is a product manufactured by millions of years of stratified organic stuffs and high pressures, it is a concentrate of energy.
TV is not as useful.

Now think about solar power.
You guys subsidize milk, you should be paying more. And our milk is better quality and organic, Thats why we refuse to buy the crap from the US
Do⦠do you put milk in your car?
Are you okay, buddy?
I doubt twenty years of ag gag laws have been kind to the industry that was partly responsible for the formation of the FDA.
I'm really unenthused by meat and dairy in the States.
What kind of car needs 17 Gallons of capacity?
Generic mid-size sedan from Europe or the US. 64 liters. VW Passat or Mercedes C-class territory. E-class used to get 80 liters as an option.
It's so you don't have to get fuel more than once or twice a month at most.
Lol you can see where the "I did that" sticker used to be...
Wonder if it was an old Biden version or a new Trump version.
One of those doesn't come loaded with ads.
Yes, I've heard, but you might still have a choice to fill up at one without ads, whereas with a TV like this you buy it and you're set with ads for the time you have it.
Unless your gas pump has ads, or it's a non-smart tv
I meant post purchase, i.e. fuel once it gets in your tank and the TV once you get it home, but yeah, you're right too.
TV is cheap because you are the product. CEOs want you to see their ads, their propaganda.
Gas is expensive because they have not yet found a way to stop car-owner from leaving the sofa in front of TV
But they do have ads at the pumps
Tvs are cheap because manufacturing costs came down. They were cheap before they were smart
Both are true. Manufacturing costs went down significantly, but non-smart TVs are now more expensive than equivalent smart TVs by over $100 from what I have seen.

Are you paying for the cheap tv by bringing hostile spywear into your home?
It's possible not, I suppose.
The tv should have always cost more. That's part of the problem. America drunk on cheap consumer goods.
I disagree. America has heavy subsidies on gas prices.
Visit Japan or the EU and their fuels prices make the USA cheap. It is odd in the USA, most people are concerned about fuel prices, but healthcare costs are far worse.
Healthcare is only for the weak. I am one if the elect; god loves me, so I won't ever need to think about that.

I canβt believe how cheap TVs are. I think I bought a 22β CRT 25 years ago and it was easily over $200.
E: a CPI check says a $220 monitor in 2000 is $435 today.
They're cheap because they use extensive tracking to make up the rest of their money
Compare any tv to a monitor of the same size and feature set
Yeah, they're selling you an ad platform. It won't be long before they start leaving off the HDMI ports.

Well the gas would be cheaper if they could somehow make it contain advertising and data theft
Oh wait till you find out about how modern cars are mining your data, including facial recognition and reporting of you are having sex in the car! And the best part itβs all unregulated! Govt can simply buy the info for tracking even your Phone would be jealous of!

Gas is a cheat code to decades of stored solar energy. It won't be cheap for ever. Once you mine up all that shit it's gone.
Look at WV and their coal. Use to have 12 ft coal seams. Now all that's left are hard to reach low quality 1-2ft seams. At some point it's not even worth the energy to extract.
