good meme post, just wanna share a viewpoint tht I think some people may not be aware: As a consequence of the war, oil and gas from Russia stopped, and that accounted for not only a big part of the electricity generation, but especially that part that is used to cover peak electrical consumption, ie mornings and dinnertime. in the EU at least, electricity prices change by the hour. and the grid is interconnected between countries, and many countries have had their own energy-struggles, like in Germany where proponents of nuclear energy had gotten the power to phase it all out, made them reliant on importing power.

so the spikes in energy bills were real tough. Your electricity bill being multiples of 10 more expensive ...makes memes, at least
