'History repeats itself' wasn't supposed to be advice; plus there's supposed to be more than just 20 years in-between.

Remember that Americans are car-brained as hell. Gas prices rising due to scarcity will lead to massive price increases in peoples cost of living, which might genuinely lead to popular revolt. Like, Americans are already getting squeezed from all sides, so any increase in un-avoidable expenses is going to have repercussions.
