We (Italy) are already paying more than 2€ per liter on fuel (it was around 1.5€ befor3 Ukraine happened) and the gas bills have become unbearable for most people. The government is vaguely talking about some "relief" coming for the past 2 months, but nothing has come yet.
Honestly, I'm all in to lift the sanctions. Liberals, you wanted globalization? I'm not going to pay the price for that.
- DFHippie 5y ago> Liberals, you wanted globalization? I'm not going to pay the price for that. You are literally arguing for globalization. You want free trade with Russia so you can buy cheap fuel.
- lm28469 5y agoHm no, globalisation made everyone rely on everyone else, as soon as one actor disappear the whole system crumbles. You paid cheaper for a while but the final cost is being completely incapable of handling crisis (remember covid ?) Look at France and its nationalised nuclear energy production, they won't be nearly as impacted as Poland or Germany.
- DFHippie 5y agoIf you say "I'm not going to pay the price for that" it implies you think the price is too high. But if you want lower prices you want globalization. The system hasn't "crumbled". The prices have gone up. Where are the Italian gas fields that went unexploited because of globalization?
- lm28469 5y agoThey could have build new nuclear power plants instead of voting for decommissioning them and sucking every last drops of cheap oil. Future generations will be the judge, in the meantime get ready for a few cold winters.
- postalrat 5y agoI'm sure the only "relief" they had planned is spring weather.
