Simple solution to gas shortage. National speed limit to 45 mph. SAVE LIVES TOO

[Into the Night]

So? We accept all sorts of risks every year. How many people die from smoking, alcohol, and other vice? The psychopaths are the ones that think we can make our lives completely safe.

He's just making up numbers and calling them data. That's a fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Booze and smoking is mostly people harming themselves and i don't care. Speeders OTOH kill other people.

Driving 80mph on a road built for 80mph isn't speeding.

No one is talking about making life completely safe, you lying psychopath.

You are, liar. Psychoquackery.

But the annual highway death toll could easily be reduced from the present 40,000 to under 1,000 and SAVE money in the process.

Argument from randU fallacy. Stop making up numbers.

But you psychopaths say no way. You belong in a cage.

Psychoquackery. Insult fallacies. Tyranny. No argument presented.

Another way to save gas is to suspend the drivers licenses of criminal drivers like speeders and red light runners and DWIs and DTIs. They are criminals and they asked for it.

That doesn't save gas.

 

[Into the Night]

All these states that gave drivers licenses to illegal aliens are to blame also. Letting these criminals live here is bad enough but letting them drive ???!!!!

If they pass the test, there is no reason they can't drive.

 

[Into the Night]

Why are liberals so opposed to lower speed limits.?? Save gas and lives but liberals hate the idea!!! Are you a psychopath too?

Bigotry. Argument from randU fallacy. Psychoquackery.

No but but has to do with profits. I may be mixing up the two discussions.

Inflation is not profit. Yes...I would say you are mixing up two or more discussions.

Simpler solution: pump more oil.

There ya go. The simplest solution of all!

 

[Into the Night]

there is not a single reasonable one, interstates are in place for a reason, its always the slow minded that want to fuck up progress

With one exception: Hill climbing lanes for trucks, and hill descent lanes for dangerous mountain passes for trucks.

Wait until you go out and try to start your EV and you get a dashboard that says, "Your vehicle will not start because of your political views."
Think that cannot happen?

Why would that be limited to EV's?

 

[Into the Night]

Pumping more oil isn't going to have anything more than a nominal and temporary impact on the price per barrel

So...more supply to meet the demand doesn't lower the price, eh? You're a loon.

because OPEC can very easily ramp up or clamp down on production if a smaller player in the market decides to make a move.

OPEC does not have that ability.

You have to understand, OPEC controls the spigot.

No, they don't. They learned that the hard way in the mid 70's. They haven't forgotten it.

so if some US oil company "pumps more", all OPEC does is reduce their pumping by the same amount in order to maintain the price,

OPEC does not have that ability. They would just make NO money because of NO sales.

OR they could ramp up production in order to price that smaller player out of the market completely.

They don't have that ability either.

..and they did precisely that in 2015-16.

Link?

HAHAHA. You are truly insane. Do you honestly think there is no reason for doing under the speed limit on a freeway??? What about a snow storm.??? What about if you see a crash up ahead.? What about if you want to exit? THINK, you miserable tranny.

A 45mph speed limit is not a snow storm, crash, or badly built exit ramp. Pivot fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Address the issue you stupid darky. Would a national speed limit of 45 save 5,000 american lives a year and reduce gas consumption by say 20%???

No.

 

[Into the Night]

Hey stupid - YOU are the one who said there is no reason to ever drive under the speed limit!!!

Semantics fallacy. Pivot fallacy. He meant under normal conditions, dumbass.

 

[Into the Night]

Make the speed limit 45 and anyone caught doing 60+ should have their license suspended for a year. That will really save gas. And lives.

No. Shortages due to shipping problems do not save lives.

 

[Into the Night]

"Understanded"??? You mean "understood"? What a moron you are.

Semantics fallacy. Insult fallacy. No argument presented.

 

[Into the Night]

Still waiting for someone to say what is wrong with saving gas and lives and money!!

A 45mph limit does none of that.

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

No. The 55mph speed limit did NOT lower fatalities. Improved equipment did.

The huge drop in highway fatalities happened the very year the 55 speed limit was enacted. Had nothing to do with equipment.

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

It is illegal to drive too slow on an interstate in many States. You will be ticketed.

Too slow.? As long as you drive the speed limit, they can't do a thing. THINK

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Driving 80mph on a road built for 80mph isn't speeding.

HAHAHA, Built for 80??? Now this moron is saying the roads will collapse if people drive 45 on them!!!

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

A 45mph speed limit is not a snow storm, crash, or badly built exit ramp. Pivot fallacy.

What are you talking about, you moron? You are the one who said there is no conceivable reason for driving under the speed limit,
