Megan, of course, isn't qualified to explain how to use a toaster, let alone a relatively simple economic matter, so she's taken a seat in the peanut gallery and is trying to fire off zingers.

To be sure, there is a worry: all the economists think that fooling with the gas tax is a ridiculous idea.

Myself, I don't throw in with all those out-of-touch surgeons; I put my faith in a good, old fashioned cup of tea.

Megan is an agnoteaist. She sees a low, but non-zero!, chance of tea existing.
Good for her.
