*Holy shit* - #energy #bills in the #eu are set to take up 20% of the #average #home 's #disposable #income https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/eu.. That is before the #ecb come into #hyper #inflation ...
#uk #manufacturing that we desperately need to #promote is at high #risk of actually shutting down due to increasing #energy #bills https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/6-10..
Apparently the #uk #government are now being #warned that rising #energy #bills will lead to " #civil #unrest ": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-g.. This is at a time where the #uk has no real #leadership and the #race for #pm keeps getting pushed back, because #gchq is "worried" about #russian #influence .
The #us #house just #approved one of the largest #spending #bills to increase #defence #funding https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hous.. Less than 1% of that is to #support #ukraine . These are insane numbers.
And now the #payment is due in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/uk-h.. After years of people screaming tom #enforce more #lockdowns , we have now have to #pay the #bill - and it's going to hurt. #energy #bills are up by 50% , #inflation at 7% , #tax hikes and much more. #boris 's #response ? Push for *more* #taxation and try to #fund more #greenenergy #projects , at a time we can least afford it.
