Good day all. Thanks to the Bidenflation now underway, a lot of people in the northern parts of the United States are getting really worried about not freezing to death this winter. Why? Thanks to the President Dementia’s ability to fu** things up, natural gas and heating oil prices are going through the roof.
I’m one of those who is getting a bit concerned. The Anger Central Primary Dwelling is in New Hampshire, and it’s getting cold out there. The gas company offers it’s customers a chance to lock in a fixed price, and I signed up for it. The fixed price was the highest I’ve ever seen. Then a few weeks later came a notice that they were going to have to increase it even further.
They offered people a chance to back out of the deal, however I decided not to. I expect prices to get even worse. I’m not alone. Up in Maine, people are starting to get very worried about possibly having t choose between food and heat. Here are the details from Fox News:
Mainers, who heavily rely on home heating oil to survive the winter, told Fox News they’re already being forced to make difficult decisions due to inflation.
“We nudge our thermostat down lower and lower during the day, trying to save some money there,” 63-year-old Cindy Lavertu, of Bangor, said. “I’ve never worried before. I’ve never worried about getting supplies like right now. I’ve never stocked up before.
I’ve been doing the same thing. I have the ability to go into my Real World Job’s office, or work from home. I turn my heat down or even off and drive into my office. (It’s not that far so it’s not a major issue) at night, I turn the heat down into the 50’s or even off depending on the outside temperature and then pile on the blankets.
“I just know that I did not have these types of problems before President Biden took office,” Lavertu continued. “I didn’t have these concerns. I [attribute] it 100% to Washington, D.C.”
I wonder, who did you vote for last year? The Greatest President of the 21st century, Donald Trump, who made the United States energy self sufficient for the first time in decades, or that incompetent, lying Senile Pedophile, Dementia Joe Biden? No rush. Feel free to think about your answer. I’ll wait.
Last week, the average cost of heating oil in Maine was $3.16 per gallon, up from $1.90 a year ago, according to the governor’s office. The Energy Information Administration forecasts it will increase to almost $3.50 by next year.
When I was growing up in a small town in New Hampshire, my parents decided to renovate and expand a house we had recently moved in to. One of the things they decided to do was put in a 1500 gallon oil tank to augment the normal 275 gallon tank already in place. During a normal winter, we would have to have the 275 gallon tank refilled once or twice a month, depending on how cold it was, and back then heating oil was running about $.50/gallon. The issue is also becoming political now.
Former Maine Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a Republican who is running to retake his seat in 2022, said the situation is getting scary.
“How in the heck are our seniors on a fixed income going to pay for this?” Poliquin asked Fox News. “At the same time, we have working families with kids struggling to get ahead. … It’s inflation, it’s heating oil costs, specifically up here in central and northern Maine, that are really hurting our families.”
Even the Democrats are getting worried, and they helped cause the issue.
Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat who unseated Poliquin in 2018, said money Washington, D.C., is pumping into the system is partly to blame.
“I think some of this obviously comes out of the pandemic and disruptions there,” Golden told Fox News. “Some of it is … a lot of money has been dumped into the economy.
“First, with things like the CARES Act, which we did in the last Congress and the last administration,” he continued. “Good reasons behind it, but I think as we see more money coming in, that’s also causing inflation.”
Some of the spending bills that President Trump pushed were, in my opinion, a mistake. However, he didn’t expect to have the election so blatantly stolen out from under him and in his second term, he would have corrected the issues before they became the problem we now have.
Many Mainers live paycheck to paycheck, according to Penquis President and CEO Kara Hay. Her nonprofit works with low- and moderate-income families to help them become financially secure.
“We simply don’t have savings,” Hay told Fox News. “A single gap in wages can be very detrimental.”
“So, that could mean caring for a sick loved one or having a child safely quarantined from school after exposure to COVID,” she continued. “When those situations happen and there’s a gap in wages, our families and individuals are spiraling negatively toward financial insecurity.”
“When you add to that increased heating costs, utility costs, food costs, gas costs, home costs, we’re seeing a significant impact on Maine families,” Hay said.
The Great Panicdemic of 2020 and the incredible stupidity of the governors in shutting down their state economies basically broke the financial backs of a lot of Americans, and not just in Maine. The Democratic Communazi governors and mayors were quick to put entire populations under what amounted to house arrest, and a few are still putting their personal power ahead of the people they’re supposed to be representing. The 2022 midterms are probably going to see some seismic shifts in state houses all around the country.
Meanwhile, Lavertu told Fox News: “I would advise somebody in Washington to come walk in my shoes for 30 days. Have my health care for 30 days. Come grocery shop with me on my income for 30 days.”
You’re joking right? You expect someone like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, Comrade Bernie Sanders to actually look at what their idiotic ideas lead to? In their Marxist minds, you are all expendable and they will happily expend you in their goal of the socialist utopia they want to create.
“I think it would give a totally different perspective to these people to see how the average American consumer lives,” Lavertu added. “Nothing is free. So whatever that we’re spending, that’s got to come from someplace, it’s coming out of somebody’s pocket.”
As I said, they don’t care. Instead, they intend to make things far worse. Massive tax increases and destroying the fossil fuel industry is at the top of their list, all to “Save the Earth from Global Warming and Climate change!”
Things are going to get a lot worse, and they won’t be getting any better any time soon. For all of those who actually did vote for that Retard in Depends, and who are now seriously worried about not starving or freezing in the next few months, all I can say is, It sucks to be you! Sadly, thanks to those who so hated President Trump that they couldn’t look to their own self interests, all the rest of us are going to suffer. Thanks a lot.
