Because no one was driving 55? So the gas usage didn't drop as expected?
on a physics level, 55 is actually kind of a glass ceiling in terms of fuel efficiency....... but it should always have remained a states' issue and you still have to expect that not everyone is going to agree or want to heed. So long as they're not harming anyone else, who cares what speed someone drives? Especially in the more open areas.
I have been following Gas Mileage expectations for decades. It's funny how the struggle between SAFETY has won out over fuel economy. Americans themselves opt for size and luxury over economy..........until the Govt artificially drives up the price of fuel, of course........ in order to push the EV/Green agenda.

Because Americans are always in a hurry Time is more important than money. It's the one thing one really can't buy. So oil companies are making the same percentage of profit as they did in the 40s? Never increased? It's all our government controlling the price of oil around the entire world?

It's the nature of humans.......especially males.
Who knows the exact figures.......but you gotta figure they're no more greedy than others of the past, right?
When our Govt limits the SUPPLY side.........then the DEMAND side drives the price up. Unless the rest of the world has abandoned oil, of course. And as we've seen with Russian oil sales, that is not the case.

History Channel Fast Facts-Boeing just happened to be on. How competition with Airbus practically bankrupted them so Merging with a defense contractor to stay alive shifted their attention to stockholders rather than whet the engineers believed was best. Not unlike insurance bean counters deciding if people need their medications. So, yeah, more greedy because more stockholders out there funding their retirement accounts, right? Gotta keep the stock attractive.

Wanna stay in business? Better keep the stockholders happy. Or do you think they all should get bailed out repeatedly after being unsuccessful?
Your Govt is standing in the way of inexpensive medication. It won't allow foreign brands to sell here.......and it allows extreme price gouging from it's political donor pharmaceutical friends.
I saw everyone griping about Petroleum companies.........but not Pfizer?
Just like I saw griping about healthcare going up 600% awhile ago........while the cost of Education went up 1200% well, WHO has got their fingers in both of those areas more than ever? The Govt.
Check out how much those politicians are making in stock deals..........insider deals that'd get YOU thrown into prison, by the way

There is always a chance a business owner torched his own place for the insurance.

Absolutely. I usually don't immediately buy these claims that someone went out of their way to vandalize a lone house or business. It usually seems suspicious.

let's compare those cameras to the typical cell phone camera these days
WHY do the police bother showing those grainy ass photos?

Why use those police sketches? They don't look like anyone to me. "Police are looking for" but the sketches don't translate in my brain to real people
