They can’t open their windows? Up here, where most of us burn wood, we cannot open the windows at all for months because it is below zero out there. We burn dry oak and there isn’t even any particulate visible on the mountains of snow on the roof or around the house. The wood smoke is identical in opacity to that from the propane furnaces.

When do people rebel? Food is very expensive. Gasoline is very expensive and home heating bills and electricity are already double or more what they were just a year ago. When you can’t afford to eat, heat or travel to work, what else is there to lose?

Not much, and when the fireplace police come around they may just find out the logical answer to your question.

I predicted several years ago that they'd maxed out taxation, so they'd have to start raising the prices of essentials, utilities and fuel.

So, those things you listed as "expensive" just have a tax added on, only it's an opaque tax.
