A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

The Dutch faced this in the 70s and chose to reduce vulnerability by reshaping short journeys so they didn’t require oil at all. That wasn’t ideological. It was pragmatic resilience. We could learn the same lesson instead of doubling down on car-dependent local trips.
It’s also a subsidy, paid for by everyone, including those who don’t drive, either because they can’t afford to or because they’ve chosen not to expose themselves to volatile fuel costs. Why should they underwrite someone else’s oil consumption?
When war sends oil prices soaring, the lesson isn’t to suppress the price of petrol. It’s to recognise how exposed we are. Freezing fuel duty again would entrench dependence on imported oil at the very moment we should be reducing it.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Especially now, joy is just as important as survival.
The world might be cruel and chaotic, but that doesn’t mean you should only exist in a state of struggle.
You deserve laughter, comfort, adventure and love.
Whenever you can, seek out things that make you happy, no matter how small.
