Funny, this other topic I was pursuing also had an allusion to gasoline in it:
A Grim Milestone
COVID-19 has now killed over a million Americans. For comparison:
Civil War: ~620,000
Great Chicago fire: ~300
Peshtigo fire: ~2,000
WW1: 116,516
Spanish flu: ~675,000
Tulsa race massacre: ~300
Pearl Harbor: 2,403
WW2: 418,500
Korean War: 33,686
Vietnam War: 58,220
Oklahoma City bombing: 168
9/11: 2,977
Afghan War: 6,301
So the wealthiest, most technologically advanced nation in human history, with 4% of the world’s population, has racked up 16% of its COVID deaths.
Why? Or, more pertinently, who?
How many of those million American corpses would be alive today if the former guy had shown awareness, concern, moral courage, and real leadership by treating the pandemic as a serious, non-partisan public-health matter instead of trivializing, minimizing, and politicizing it? Just because HE was getting the best medical care money could buy (at taxpayer expense) didn’t mean everybody else was.
Granted, his monumental ignorance, arrogance, intransigence, and narcissism don’t amount to premeditated murder, but there’s a convincing case to be made for contributory negligence on a massive scale. It’s like applauding enthusiastically while the kids next door take turns throwing lighted matches on a pile of gasoline-soaked rags.

Offer him a lighted match.

He acts like he’s been “huffing” gas fumes for years.

All he needed was a dab behind each ear.

With prices going up, that’s about to become a felony…

Chainsaws, grass trimmers, and other 2 stroke engines run better with premium gasolene.
