@mattgeiger8247 Our “natural” gas prices in Southern California (home heating and stove/oven) just DOUBLED, almost without warning. Last summer, air conditioning prices DOUBLED between the hours of noon and 6 pm, and this year I fully expect that will extend to all day. A lot of the elderly will be dying due to either the cold or the heat. I know that SoCal doesn’t have nearly the extremes (at least in the winter) of say, Minnesota, but it’s still pretty chilly (I know, we’ll get by), and in the summer, it’s regularly getting to be over 100° in the daytime, lasting for a number of weeks. Plus, I expect the states hardest hit by winter cold will adopt the same policies soon enough. Hey, as long as a few fat cats get even richer, who gives a damn about old “useless” people dying, right? Or, even working people having to spend that kind of money out of an already beleaguered paycheck.
