The point is that whining draws attention and attention causes change. The whining should have started a few years ago and maybe by now we could have reasonable alternatives. Instead of now whining and having to wait to see that alternatives when the prices are extremely expensive. I would say it is completely relative rather than subjective.

Also, it's your choice to drive a car. That's a luxury. If you don't like the prices, find another way to get around.
A ridiculous statement. Our entire society is built around the ability to move quickly and efficiently between great distances. There are around 280 million cars in the US that’s almost one per person. Cars and using them is the standard operating procedure for the way the country is set up. Could it change? Yep. Is it going to any time soon? Nope. Luxury, what type of car maybe but having and using is a necessity. Not everyone can live in a city with a good public transportation system or in Walnut Grove next to Pa Ingalls, living off the land.

If I don’t like the prices why should I find another way of getting around when I can find ways to make the prices more acceptable?

Yes, I would like some cheese with my wine.
