julianrubischJust got a notice that my monthly energy bill will rise by 350% 😰
Pascal Laliberté@julianrubisch That is gut-wrenching Julian. Wow.
How are you reacting to this, for your family and the people you know?
@pascallaliberte we‘re lucky that my wife is full time employed and wages are somewhat tied to inflation here.
So yeah, we‘ll handle it somehow, but that’s just our private energy bill. My office rent will also increase by 10%, and that’s not even covering electricity and gas…
Let’s just hope for the best…
@pascallaliberte to be clear, we’re lucky to have the monetary reserves to handle this for a while, and we’re already massively cutting back costs (like, dropping heating temperature by 1.5 degrees etc)
But the majority of the population isn’t so lucky. I wonder where this will lead…
@julianrubisch It sounds to me like this is either the story (that it'll devolve into societal upheaval), or the story is that you will all get through this and the geopolitical/energy landscape will be better off from this struggle.
@pascallaliberte I hope for the latter. I also find solace in the fact that for once we have something like actual cost transparency in the energy sector.
It’s time for a transformation after all, and it seems like it’s got to come from the bottom.
