This will hit people in the country disproportionately higher . If you live 2030 kms from where you work that ' s 4060 kms a day . 200300 a week . As if the cost of all that fuel isn ' t bad enough , let ' s chuck another arbitrary tax on it . How about going after fairer sources of revenue , like multinationals paying sweet FA on billions of profit ? gorgoncompanypaidonly 248 taxon 17 b n p rofitsenatetaxinquirytold 20151108 gktu 7 s <| sep |> I ' m only alive because I feel guilted into living . Same . I fucked up and now my so is dead . I wasn ' t there for him when he needed me and he OD ' d , probably on purpose as he was suicidal . I know what kind of pain my death would inflict on loved ones , but at the same time it ' s hard to understand why I should prioritize not hurting them when I ' m going through this alone . I talked to suicide hotline for an hour today and it made no difference . Other times I ' ve called in my life , it always helped , because the suicidal thoughts were anxiety driven . Now it ' s not a symptom of anxiety it ' s just a conclusion given these inescapable circumstances . It ' s not going to get better . No matter how many times I am told it ' s not my fault , I will never believe it . The quiet certainty that there ' s only one way out , that I have the means to OD many many times over already here , just a few feet away . I don ' t know who benefits from dragging it out .
