Add ONE more, deed of, STUPIDITY, to this DICTATORSHIP of TSAI here! And, we're, all about, to S-I-N-K (none of us can hold our breaths forever by the WAY!), with the rising costs of EVERYTHING, and with the summer, predicted to get hotter, we are all, SCREWED!!! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Before new president elect Lai takes the office, the hikes in cost of electricity, causing the costs of everything else to elevate; the bad guy was the current president, Tsai, demolishing the bombs for Lai, clearing up the battlefields, and yet, it's we the people, who will be, shouldering the outcomes.
The huge increases in cost of utilities in April, the Tsai government blamed it on the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict that's caused the cost of energies to get higher across the global planet, and offered up the proofs of the percentages of increases for the goods, for the utilities, proving, that the cost of electricity in Taiwan needs to get higher. The Taipower Company that's suffered losses in earning for years on end, acting as the wave reducers of the impact of the global cost increase in energies, showing that there's a reason for the increase of the utilities costs. In truth, as things happened, we're all, aware that the cost of electricity will get higher, but the government of Tsai, in office for EIGHT whole years, only told the good and not the bad out of habit, and this current adjustment in cost of electricity is by too high a percentage, causing the prices of everything else to get higher still, affecting the people's living.
the trend is still, going, UP!!! From online
The head of state, Chen awhile stated that "the government will adjust the costs a little at a time, so the adjustments in the electricity bills won't affect the cost of everything too much", allowing every household to be able to afford it; and now, the rates are set, the head of Department of Economics, Wang stated, that for the small nuclear families, the adjustments are equivalent to buying two extra tea stewed eggs from the super convenience shops, she'd also used the examples of the beef noodle shops' charging fifteen dollars N.T. for an egg, the cost of electricity to five more extra dollars per day, claimed, "the cost of things should NOT get higher, because the cost of electricity had, increased". The Taipower Company also claimed that the hikes in costs only mildly affected the cost of goods, stated that a bakery only needed to pay two extra dollars per day for its operations, immediately, the KMT legislators found the evidence against Taipower's claims.
in 2018, and I imagin that it's getting higher by the year! From online
What we the people are feeling is this, the cost of utilities, higher, the railroad tickets, hiked, everything we need is getting higher. What was ironic, was the offices of internal affairs had just, announced its reimbursements of the rents, but those who were hit the hardest in this currently happening hike of utilities, are the renters, those who took out their first mortgages. The government hikes up the costs on one hand, on the other, offering the reimbursements, the rebates, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The government led by Tsai kept vouching for the energy policies it'd proposed, and it never admitted, that the accumulated rate of utilities cost increase had gotten to as high as twenty-two-percent from the past to the proposed cost increase in April this year, more than thirty-percent totally, other than breaking her promise to the people that "there won't be a huge adjustment in the rate of power", the adjusted percentage also, was eighteen-percent higher compared to Ma's term as president.
And so, this, is how it is, a BAD energy policy was proposed, and, now, the aftermath of the hikes in energy costs, and we the people are still the ones, feeling the bad after effects of this, because, the summers are going to get hotter, and, chances are, every single household on this god DAMN island will need the air-conditioning, running 24/7 (and we still don't have the central air-conditioning that turning on one machine, the entire house feels the cool air systems either), and the effects of this is, more carbon emissions, more heat from the exhaust coming out of the air-conditioning units, and, the cost of electricity will keep on getting higher, because the heat of the summer will only get worse with each and every single, year.
