It is a hot take because a big chunk of the population takes a real QOL hit on every gas price increase. Even though I agree that gas should not be this cheap because we're subsidizing car dependence, I can understand that someone that has been cutting back on groceries due to recent gas increases might find this take fuming hot.

It has to be done, the sooner the better, but it does hurt some people out there who already have it rough.
