$5 Gasoline vs the Riff Raff
Given a choice of $5 gasoline and a 25% reduction in traffic, as compared to $2 gasoline and a slighe increase in traffic, my natural thought is to take the convenience. After all, the increase in gasoline price doesn't really affect me. It would at $10 I suppose, but pretty much anything short of $5 or $6 won't make much difference either in how much I drive, or my standard of living.
Given the wailing I read, I suspect that there are people who would drive less given $5 gasoline. With them gone, more space on the highway for those of us remaining. Good.
But back to the core of economics. Prosperity, ultimately the prosperity of all of us, is derived from ongoing transactions. Traffic is, to a huge extent, people travelling to those transactions. Fewer transactions, less prosperity.
$5 gasoline AND a loss of prosperity, that's not what we need.

When dustmites cause you to sick and tired, you will need to manage the airborne dirt and dust they're consuming. Make your house spotlessly nice and clean. Invest in a HEPA-filtering vacuum. Vacuum your mattresses and chairs often. Don't overlook to clean window curtains usually, way too. Bathroom towels and linens will also have to be the washing every week, at the very least.

You possess no power over most aspects that are widely used to determine your lifestyle insurance costs, but there are a few things you can do. As an illustration, you can do the best to attain a far healthier weight, or stop smoking cigarettes and enjoying. You can even move to a less hazardous place and enhance your driving history.
