How to save 50% on gas without losing freedom


With gas prices reaching $6 per gallon, many Americans are getting desperate. Desperation leads to poor decision making. Some people seem willing to sell their souls for cheap gas. Others seem willing to give up on democracy and a free market economy for cheap gas. Maybe they want to turn us into Venezuela where there is no democracy, no free markets, but gas is cheap. There's a better way to save 50% in gas: drive half as much.

Consolidate trips. Telework if you can. Find another job that is closer to home. Move closer to work. Share rides with a co-worker. Share rides with others in the area. Plan trips ahead so that you can stop on the way and eliminate unnecessary trips. Forget about that expensive road trip that can get everyone killed. Highways are deadly dangerous. Get Amazon Prime, Doordash, Uber Eats, and others to deliver stuff for you. Get a more fuel efficient car. 

You can easily save 50% in gas costs by driving half as much. There are many ways to cut and reduce your gasoline expenses. Be creative. Whatever you do. don't surrender to the government. Trust the free market economy. Sooner or later, one way or another, the market will balance and settle on a price for gas. 

Bet on innovation. Enjoy creativity. When prices go up, the incentives on innovating on alternative sources of energy and fuel efficiency go up. Trust the creativity and ingenuity of free people participating in a free marketplace. In the long run, that is always preferable to a government run economy.   

Whatever you do, don't wish for the government to control prices. We don't want to live in a government controlled economy. We know well that politicians cannot solve anything. Government is a necessary evil, but not a panacea for economic challenges. Let the federal government focus on national defense, security,  infrastructure, and international affairs. Let state government focus on security and public works. Let private companies, entrepreneurs, and consumers set market prices based on supply and demand.

Do not make a pact with the devil. Putin can give you cheap gas in return for your metaphorical ass. The same applies to the MAGA King. Trump can negotiate a deal with his master Putin and give you free gas in exchange for your ass. Don't fall for that trap. Many others have fallen for the promises of kings and dictators. It has never ever worked out well. Think about it. If gas is too expensive for you, drive less. That will make you safer and less likely to die or get seriously hurt in a car accident.

Food for thought. What do you think?

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather.

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
