Brickbat: Flatlining
The German government is denying reports that it plans to ban energy price increases next year. Rather, it says it plans to require energy companies to prove that any increases in electricity or natural gas prices are necessary before it will allow them. Companies would have to prove that they are facing higher costs that would force them to increase the prices they charge.

It is not as if Germany controls the sources of their energy.
Not that they’ve never tried to…

Never waste a good crisis. Or hesitate to invent one if necessary.
Companies would have to prove that they are facing higher costs that would force them to increase the prices they charge.
No need to go nuclear over this.
I’ve made $1250 so far this week working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’AM made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. Here’s what I do for more information simply.

The Biden Administration is prevented from interfering with religious rights and violating the Constitution, yet again.
“Litigation was first initiated in 2016 over implementation of Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, an antidiscrimination clause that would have compelled religious medical institutions that receive federal funding to perform and cover gender transitions, according to the plaintiffs. Section 1557 prohibits a federally funded or administered health program or activity from denying benefits to an individual on the basis of sex as outlined in Title IX. The Biden administration doubled down on the 2016 principle in a revised rule.
During the legal fight, the Biden administration objected that the plaintiffs couldn’t prove that Section 1557 would be enforced against them because they hadn’t had the opportunity to try yet. The Eighth Circuit on Friday said this explanation amounted to a “concession that they may do so.””
But you must remember – Trump made an offhand comment about suspending the Constitution and that is souch worse than the people actively subverting it right this moment.
not just off handed is was in the form of a question so not even a suggestion

No different than the local power company asking the state government if it can increase prices.
Yeah, the state public utilities commissions approve rate increases the same way. Of course, they are captured regulators who never say no to the power companies.
Once again, don’t give the Democrats any ideas.
To play devil’s advocate, this is how most people see things. Put it to a popular vote, and prices would never rise ever. People do not understand basic economics. Not even Republicans. And politicians are just people. Just as ignorant as the rest.
The problem isn’t the politicians, the problem is the system where the job of politicians is to give the people what they ask for. The solution is to limit the power and scope of government.
It’s not just that people “can vote themselves money,” but rather that are voting themselves other people’s money, and the government redistributes it. When you are one of the 49% that has $0 tax liability, everything is a gain. And you vote accordingly.
We tried that here in America in 1781 and again in 1789. All it turned out to be was an exercise in demonstrating that there are no limits on government power that politicians cannot bypass.

“Inputs went up 10%”
But you still make a profit, not good enough.
“It’s literally 10% more expensive to produce the electricity!”
Not good enough. Our Bureaucrat in charge of price levels will be contacting you for an appointment. She’s very good, she majored in Post-Critical-Thinking.

I’m sure the German people will appreciate small favors as they starve slowly in their cold, dark homes “next year.” We wouldn’t want them to regret electing politicians who implement politically correct energy policies that result in a “zero energy” state.
You know who else was less than forthcoming about gas policy in Germany?
Ferdinand von Zeppelin?
Every time I go there, I see Aus fahrt signs; him?
