At least for the gas this is the start of a better way of thinking about the problem. When I still lived in the US, I heard ppl complain about the price of gas all the time. However, I never heard complaints about our dependency on gas or the economic problem that the cheapest stuff there is per volume felt expensive to buy.
There how I’ve reframed it every time I hear it. So how are you reducing your need for gas? I’m biking and taking transit so it has stopped hurting so much. Try to alter their thinking from “this is unavoidable” to “I guess we could do fewer trips”
