Sure let's make consumption of the rare resource easier. That's not gonna backfire in any way. Lol

Next up subsidies so people can still drive 250km/h with their SUVs

(Prediction: very short term drop in prices, market prices rally upwards until the raised price constrains consumption again to the point of equilibrium. Raised profits for suppliers, less state income - except nothing else changed. Rich people still drive as much - poor people constrain their behavior - food prices rise)
Z̈oéuint8_t@chaos.socialApr 13, 2026, 11:32 AM@missqarnstein it would’ve been much better to give every resident 100 € and say it’s the oil price compensation. Use as you see it fit.

@uint8_t true, people could decide not to spend it on fuel.
In the end it's a distribution question who gets to use this resource for what purpose - because in the short term throwing more money at the problem doesn't increase the supply. It's just increasing the profits of the people controlling the supply side.
I think everything that directly funnels fuel consumption into things like supply chains and production and reduces consumption where it's just for convenience and leisure would be the thing that i would try.
