You would think that the department of energy would be sure to stay on top of this a lot better considering that little old ladies could freeze to death when rationing and huge price hikes come into play .. Then again this administration has done it's best to ensure all energy costs go up
if you look at the really really big picture..the past several decades now has been the wilful looting and destruction of the US private sector middle class. Why? because that is where the true wealth starts, where it is created, and to the fatcats, too much was left in the productive middle class hands. too much wealth and money , the US middle class was the most successful in the history of the planet, and that just bugged them. Millionaires were being stymied in their quest to all be billionaires. they want the wealth and power, and it is easier for them to have an autocratic plutacracy, so that is what they are creating. china is their poster boy nation, they want something like that here. They want a two class feudal type society, just with modern technology. A part of a feudal society is a well established "enforcer" class, mercenaries and bureaucrats who work for the elite.
This is why they allow and encourage asset stripping and looting, they have no loyalties to the people here, only how fat their own bank accounts get, and how much raw power over other humans they can accrue. We are their prey animals, we are targets.
Don't you be back talkin massah, boy!
That's these goons gig, been like that for thousands of years. They wear different clothes than they did long ago, and have different official titles, but it's the same deal.
The crooks, murders, liars and thieves rise to the top, and also become the order givers, and there's always enough dudes kicking around ready and willing to follow any orders given, because the king/emperor/baron/prime minister/prez or sub facet goonling thereof "says so"..
Every evil thing these plutocrats have done over the ages has been "legal". Because they say-so. It has been "the LAW".
I have joked about it before, but they have "Caligula family" values. They are psychopaths. They may be in some cases quite brilliant, but they are evil.
