Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.

“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.

    Dunno about Denmark, but in my experience the higher class get to live wherever they want closer to their jobs, and probably own multiple cars they optionally drive short distances to show off.

    Whereas the working everday folks gotta drive their 2008 Honda-of-Theseus MANY more miles in commute from outside the city, daily, hoping that expensive rattly motor mount can hold until pay week before it fails.

    So taxing the heck out of fuel would hurt the working class a ton more.
