Yeah

Never to return to normal either

How does that work

[MTVN]

The government could spend a load of money trying to shield people from it which is fine but then it'll just mean we end up having to pay for that over the following years so it just delays or elongates the financial misery. They should also be real with people and encourage them to control their budgets and don't drive so much if possible but then they also want people to be out there spending and commuting to work to keep city centres afloat so it's a catch 22

there is no right way to deal with it. Those in financial trouble now are going to be stuffed without assistance. If we get into goods in the shops getting scarce, we will have panic buying again. It will be like covid without the stay home restrictions all over again.

If Trump carries out his threat to knock out power stations and iran ecalate again we are in for a whole lot of pain that may take a decade to recover from

Invest in nuclear.

lol the government could care less they are raking in the moula from the increase in fuel prices


look out for yourself and your family and friends would be my advice dont depend on the government, cut back on your energy use where you can they cant charge you for what you have not used


There is so much the government could do right now, taking VAT off heating energy would be a start
