why does everyone blame everyone else for the gas problem?

Question

do poeple not see that america, unlike europe, was built and designed around everyone having their own personal vehicle.

the fact is that all the cities, towns and localities have been designed with personal vehicle use in mind and not public transit.

i have live both in europe and america and see the stark differences.

so that being said, you all feel due to the america's government's allowed design flaw of public devolpment that makes public trans highly expensive or improbable, that the gov should be held responsible for this gas crisis and should enact some type of harsh socializing or nationalizing of oil commodoties in order to prevent a future economic nighmare from occuring due to gas prices?

Answer 1

I will answer your question now. I firmly believe that it is the trading of oil futures on the world stock market that drives the prices high. I believe it to be a supply and demand problem , we demand and supply will not keep up because it can sell all of its product at a premium price. Oil refineries are not being built to increase capacity of fuel production due to Enviornmental issues. We have the oil we need however we cant go get it.

Answer 2

I have always wonder that myself. I know that public buses are even hard to come by, if you don't live near a major city. Yes, it is the government fault.

Answer 3

I blame everyone else, because I dont want the blame for it :)
