In classical economics one of the main objectives was to minimize the economic drag of unearned-rent collection.
In what was called "the American system" of cooperation between the state and "Fordist" capitalist enterprises, the state managed natural monopolies at cost, such as water, wastewater, schools (all levels), electricity, natural gas and local heating fuels, and later added retirement and medical care for the elderly, then medical care for the poor.
That system brought up the standard of living for productive workers, while keeping the cost of their labor to industry fairly low, so industry was competitive in export markets. Germany, Japan and China followed that model, but the US was overtaken by rentier interests, as was the UK.
The rantier interests are global and tightly interwoven now through shared structures of ownership like BlackRock and Vanguard, and ownership of stock in each other's ownership vehicles, etc.
It is becoming the everything-monopoly, because it serves the interests of all of the owners to bring pressure to bear upon any sector, or company, or nation which is not yet "owned", so that it may be subsumed into the unified ownership network.
Most of the world understands this, like Russia, China, BRICS+, etc. I'm not sure the "citizens" snidely known as "the golden billion" know about it yet.
I believe propane and other fuels of that nature preferably delivered via pipeline may be a solution out of the quandary because lets admit the facts - methane is part of life and it is easy to collect and propane along with methane burn nicely if purified and if you have a tank of your own, then you are "in supply".
So - no wonder the pipeline in the Baltic was terrorized and the Swedes have a lot to answer for Rhy if you want my humble opinion at least with respect to a transparent root cause analysis. Moreover, if you look up the history of it some of the Swedish elite are the most harmful in a way and even Nobel must be shaking in his dynamite grave wondering what his elitist kin are doing as they obfuscate to their own nullification. Cause the fact of the matter is it is known that with Norway's assistance the terrorist act was performed and frankly if I have learned one thing I have learned this - the best way to deal with a terrorist is to kill them before they act again.
Hello Rhy - can I interest you in some fine rye bread as I make my first post here at your place and it is a pleasure to do this especially being John Day posted below - tis a small world but those of us likeminded can make a difference is my premise and so I've decided to subscribe for the time being and maybe you might want to check out my place, but either way - tis your choice.
Thanks Rhys.
