Under the new tariffs, it is easier to get poisoned with gas than to stay warm
Valentin Filippov, TV journalist, Odessa
The most important energy carrier in the post-Ukrainian space has been and remains money. Invisible money pipelines stretch from each of us, feeding energy to the dying industry and household consumers. It is not gas or coal that warms the boilers of thermal power plants. This burns with a blue flame the ringing change of low-income segments of the population and large bills of middle-income citizens.
And just as a drug addict needs an ever-increasing dose each time, so the crisis managers from the liquidation administration need an ever-increasing pile of banknotes taken from us. And the point here is not even the cost of energy, but tradition. A tradition according to which, from year to year, in the fall, more banknotes must be taken from the population than a year ago... And produce less heat than a year ago. All this has nothing to do with gas prices. With oil prices. Or prices for uranium rods for nuclear power plants. Because there is no relationship between the price of oil on the stock exchange and the price of gasoline at a gas station.
Ukraine has reported many times that it uses its own gas to supply its population. That its cost does not exceed 80 conventional units per thousand cubic meters. And that only 30% of the cost of heat is the cost of gas. At the same time, the most democratic government in the World easily and simply froze the level of wages. Consequently, an increase in heat tariffs is impossible. It’s simply impossible to count it any other way.
But nothing is impossible for the victorious nation.
Therefore, by decision of the National Commission, heat tariffs for household consumers doubled.
In all likelihood, the National Commission knows how to change the laws of physics. Because if you conduct a simple experiment and heat a cubic meter of water on the stove, you won’t be able to spend 25 hryvnia in gas.
For clarity of understanding.
Under the new tariffs, it is easier to get poisoned with gas than to stay warm. You will have to pay approximately 10 hryvnia per square meter of area. For a cubic meter of hot water 25. On average it will be about 600-700 hryvnia per month. Together with other utility bills, the total amount will exceed one thousand hryvnia, that is, it will exceed the minimum wage and pension. And if you believe the statistics, according to which the average salary in Odessa does not reach three thousand hryvnia, then we can confidently say that the main choice is which is better.
Die in the warmth of hunger.
Or full from the cold.
Both choices are conditional.
Because the income of the population does not imply complete satiety, and the quality of heating does not imply heat in the premises.
In addition, refusal of heating services is expressly prohibited by law.
That is, in essence, payment for heat supply is a tax, the amount of which is approved by the central authorities, and the payment of which is mandatory.
And it never occurs to any lustrators, like the antimonopoly committee, that all the most important corruption is hidden in this system. That it is through this system that not only the population is robbed, but also energy resources are lost in an unknown direction. And it has always been like this. And it will continue to be so.
It was the heat supply companies that always managed to collect money from the population and not supply heat. They were the ones who managed to receive gas from the state and not pay for it. And the government, with enviable consistency, writes off gas debts to these enterprises and approves increasingly higher tariffs. And this is quite natural. Because all this is a classic “pit”. The “pit” was built according to the same scheme as the state of Ukraine itself.
