Not nice news at all. War is war, but I don't want to pay thousands just to keep minimal warmth in the house. And people have children!

All you need to do is talk your country into stopping the sanctions against Russia. After all, why was Russia supplying gas in the first place? Wasn't it fair trade... to make money for a product sold?

It's rather simple. If there are sanctions against Russia, so that Russia can't trade the payments you might make for the gas you buy, for whatever products she wishes elsewhere, what's the benefit of giving you gas for useless currencies? The whole thing revolves around supply and demand...

Or it did before the full force of the sanctions was felt. Since Russia gained the upper hand through the sanctions, she might be displaying her superiority, now, through cutting off Nord Stream.

If you love your children, get together with friends, and promote the idea of appeasing Russia so you can get the gas turned back on. Then after you are warm, work on finding other sources of energy.

After all, you pay taxes, and those taxes are supposed to be used by government to guarantee you some basic benefits, including a supply of whatever it takes to heat your homes. Why pay taxes if government is going to fail you? So, get after government people to either get your tax money back, or to get them to do their job.

Cool
