Last night (Monday), I watched about 30 minutes of ARD's (Channel One) Hart Aber Fair (Hard But Fair) chat forum (live). Topic? Heat and energy prices escalating.
For those who haven't heard the chatter....over the past six months, prices have escalated a good bit (figure around each family now paying 2,000 Euro or $2,400 extra per year).
So they went around the group (prominent journalists/politicians).
They are all mostly in shock.
Some kind of government 'gift-money' to hold back the anger? Well....you can discuss the matter but I seriously doubt that it's more than 300 Euro for the average family.
Potential for the cost to escalate even more by next winter? Oh, I'd give that a 50-50 chance of happening. All of this puts huge 'pain' on regular families and pushes inflation even more. It wouldn't shock me if you a 2019 listing for cost, and by 2024.....see that 2019 bill quadruple.
