I like to think about things. I also like to question things – sometimes just for the sake of it.
I nerd myself into some things. Other things I am extremely uninterested in.
I have also become a climate change aunt, despite mine so far, in the context, young age.
On this blog you can read most of what fits in my world of thought. From social criticism to beauty 40+ to embarrassing stories to…
Welcome! 🙂
Electricity prices must have risen. My latest electricity bill was about twice as expensive as a few months ago. It's actually not really wise. Much like summer 2018, when my electricity bills for two rooms and a kitchen went from approx 250 SEK / month to over 700 SEK / month. Completely insane, although at least that time I understood why it happened that way.
This time I have less understanding of why electricity prices have gone up like hell. Besides, I'm annoyed about it. While anyone with a regular salary certainly thinks it is not that dangerous, so I can inform that for me and many others who have some form of pension (sickness compensation for me), so this type of increase is extremely noticeable.
One can think that around 250 kronor is not that much money – and it is not. In any case, not as a sum completely taken out of context. But if you put it in combination with a low sickness benefit that should be enough for a lot of things, and also during a period when the economy is strained due to completely different things – then is 250 spend quite a lot of money. That money could be enough for a whole bunch of things for me, which I now can not buy because I can not afford. Medicine, for example.
Sometimes I wonder if politicians think about their decisions properly, and how they affect who. It often sounds good, no matter who is talking (if you ignore Jimmie Åkesson and Ebba Bush, because it never sounds good when one of them opens the trunk), but in practice – especially when it comes to low-income earners or us who for various reasons cannot work.
I read that the supply of electricity is low right now, and that is why the price is rising. I understand how it works, but what I do not understand is why so many people insist that there be more electric cars, until there is no room for more petrol-powered cars. Where should we do with the old cars? How do we take care of all the car batteries that will be lying around and littering? What do we do with the material from the cars? None of this should be particularly environmentally friendly.
And from where get we electricity for the electric cars? If there is a poor supply of electricity now, what makes politicians think it will get better later? Because if there should only be electric cars, after all, the supply of electricity is likely to be significantly greater than now, and also stable. What happens otherwise? Electric cars that stop running because the electricity runs out? In the middle of a country road in the middle of the night? In the middle of a roundabout in rush hour traffic?
The inflexibility in it the whole thing at least makes my chin land on the hill – from the third floor.
The electric cars do too the part that large sections of the population will not be able to afford a car. I will never be able to buy an electric car, if I do not happen to win the big house on Lotto. And even if I could afford to buy the car itself – I could afford to run it? I who could not even afford to have a car now, considering what petrol prices look like. And I both want and need a car – even though I have sickness benefit.
Sometimes I wonder if I need to start my own party, only to address issues that the other parties completely miss. Such as making sure everyone feels safe – and then I do not mean an increased number of police officers, stricter penalties and so on. Security is a much bigger concept than that, and that's where I think they miss so much.
But who is I whine. I'm just a person who benefits from tax money, so I should be grateful and shut up.
I think I get practice a little more on it…
