It’s absolutely wild. The last time around, people died, and a lot more were put into financial hardship due to the shitty, hypercapitalist energy infrastructure. People were rightly ripshit angry about it.

And then nothing was done about any of it.

And then people keep voting for the politicians who created and perpetuated the situation.

It’s really hard to keep giving a shit about people who actively work and vote to make their own lives worse.
