Very short article explaining why

As liquids go, $3 shouldn't be the end of the world. A lot of folks I know wish beer was $3 a gallon. 😀

Considering the environmental effects of fossil fuels, gas should be $15 a gallon.

Good point. A higher gas price might get folks thinking about alternatives.

Some people are so stupid they’d rather let it be someone else’s problem tomorrow than deal with it today.

it's not a sign of economic health, it's because OPEC cut production and isn't increasing it back very quickly

why are they crying? electricity is 50 cents a gallon :)

To be fair it's also a sign of temporary shutdown of Texas refineries during the storms which caused the electrical failures. That said the ripple from that disturbance won't last for Months on end.
