Has the price of electricity gone up by a greater percent per time than the rate of inflation?
@shortstories Look at the profits of the power companies. Have they gone up more than inflation?
In sweden, the answer is a clear yes, because they enjoy a political oligopoly and the politicians show zero interest in fixing the problem.
The prices probably went up because the government made so many data centers to spy on people for hate speech that there is a shortage of electricity for non-government consumers
@shortstories Haha, yes, would not be surprised. The current government of sweden is the master of the surveillance state.
Other times and places, YMMV
