We jusy got a notice our electric is going up, with a lame excuse as to why... the state must be prepping for the changeover to electric everything in the not too distant future. I expect it will steadily increase over the coming months with more lame excuses as to why.

Car insurance just went up too with the excuse that “there are less garages after the pandemic, so more people are having to take their cars in for repairs to higher priced garages after accidents, “therefore we regret to inform you that we have had to raise out prices” (not verbatim, but close enough)

Just another way th3 shutdowns and failures to thrive resulting in closures affected small businesses during the totalitarian covid shutdowns

I thinkl the goal is for everyone to buy their fuel directly from the government.

Which will require that most people move to densely packed, democrat controlled large cities, where they will require government provided services for every aspect of life.

A side benefit is that rich liberals can then drive wherever they want without waiting in traffic.

What a wonderful Obamanation it will be!
