When you spike consumption in response to lower prices, the prices just go back up.
As with any commodity, this is only true if supply is static or falling while demand rises. The reason gas prices are currently falling is because supply of available oil is rising, largely due to new sources being made available.
or even simply returned to the public in the form of a rebate
Can you provide any evidence of when this has ever happened with a tax was applied to a commodity? In reality, any surplus will be retained by Big Oil. Lefties need to quit trying to hurt the middle class and working poor with all of these proposed "progressive" taxes that are actually completely regressive, disproportionately affecting those who can least afford to absorb them. How about stripping Big Oil of their subsidies for starters? The Democrats could have easily done this during the first half of Obama's first term, when they held the House, Senate, *and* Presidency, yet they chose to leave those surpluses intact.

"It also has a built-in camera â" with facial recognition."
More importantly, it's recording your voice all the time, for processing elsewhere. Nice.
You think they'd hide something nasty then explain what they'd done in black and white?
Having said that, are we going to discover in a year or two's time, that for the last 20 years the NSA (and other bodies) have contributed code to every single open source project out there, and that no-one's actually bothered to check? (You need time, motivation, skills (if you're going to find anything that's not totally obviously written) etc)
Surely even in the UK it's not illegal to follow other people's tweets?
> You say that like it's a bad thing
He's saying it like it's obviously impossible, like more than 50% of schools being above average.
