Now when the economy is great, everything will be great for you. Your job pays well, you pump gas that doesn't hurt a dent to your wallet, you can eat out often if you like, go on vacation plenty, life is good right?
Yep, I just described the rich. With gas prices so high, when I address my co workers who be driving EV and don't take a big hit on their wallet, they feel sorry for me. To some, it doesn't even cost them anything to drive to work. We have EV station here. Drive to work, get free electricity for your EV, rinse and repeat the process. If the rest of us gas pumper don't need to pump gas on a weekly basis then our economy would look good as well. The prices that goes up are prices that got passed along to the consumer.
Rich people tend not to have a money problem and they can pay their way out of a violation. In Cali, if you use too much water, you can get fine for it. Guess which celebrities are the culprit? Sly Stallone, Kourtney Kardashian, Howie Mandel's wife, rapper The Game and Kevin Hart had a restrictor installed but was taken down 2 weeks later.
