> Politicians won't tax gas because they'll get voted out.

I wonder if that's corporations' fault after all: shitty working conditions and shitty wages, so that Bezos can afford to send penises into space. What poor person would agree to higher tax on gas? And the corps are the ones backing politicians who'll propagandize that "Unions? That's communism! Do you want to be Chaina?!" (and spread by those dickheads on the corporate-owned TV and newspaper, drunk dickheads who end up becoming defense secretary)

When people have more money, they tend to buy larger cars that they drive further. Flying is also a luxury.

So corporations are involved in the sense that they pay people more than a living wage.
