This is something I wondered also.
I guess nothing ground breaking is going to happen unless people riot. A bad recession, lots of excess deaths, increase in crime and they might take notice.
@purplesky believes people have themselves to blame by leveraging themselves too much with, in his opinion, expensive houses, credit debts and the like.
This is despite the fact that energy bills have quadrupled in 12 months - his belief is that it's an individual's fault if they end up being unable to afford their mortgage/rent/energy/credit repayments.
He further believes that energy caps will peak at £15k and then fall to the new norm of £8k and that people should just go get a better paid job or work 2+ jobs if they are struggling.
His lack of empathy or just lack of interest in understanding individuals circumstances is staggering.
One of his iconic quotes is:
He is in the fortunate position to own his home outright and, in an effort to understand how his opinions are formed, I have asked him how this came about in the SC thread but, as yet, no response.
I have also asked him to elaborate on the part I bolded in his last quote... Again, no response.
At this time, my opinion based on most of his posts involving this topic, is that he's a troll.

Where have you been ridiculed?
You've made 6 posts on here and 4 of them involved the Steam Deck... Where are you being ridiculed for the CoL topics?
Synology power consumption
www.tpcdb.com
Plus your drives which are presumably using very little if the NAS is in standby.
I haven't posted on this topic. I was told that I shouldn't be listened to in the steam deck thread yesterday by someone who makes money from linux. Not exactly a warm welcome and have noticed this behaviour in general.You've made 6 posts on here and 4 of them involved the Steam Deck... Where are you being ridiculed for the CoL topics?

Put it this way I wouldn't want be in a 100 mile radius of central London when the police go on strike perfect opportunity for the Joe public to riot
The police can't strike under the police act 1996
I read your posts and the replies in there... A difference of opinion is all I see. If you class that as being ridiculed then you are equally as guilty by "ridiculing" @jonneymendoza and his Linux skills.:
Anyways, off topic for this thread...
See there we have it. Couldn't wait to have a jab. You don't expect to be told that you shouldn't be listened to and expect no comeback. What is that all about? Seems like a very hostile forum
It doesn't ever hibernate, I need to check what's installed. I was thinking of just powering it down even though the consumption is low. I think I saw $100 to have it on all year.
The previous riots were bad. Can't even remember what that was all over?
Funny, France and Germany have managed to give decent pay increases compared to us, "and" they have lower inflation, your bubble burst right there.
Think about what you are saying, you are effectively saying the solution is to make people poorer, inflation and making people poorer both have the same impact, lack of affordability. Whenever I hear someone say cap wage rises, in simple terms they mean "I need my wealth protected".
You honestly think there is nothing wrong with say 10% inflation 5% wage increase, 2% inflation 1% wage increase, 20% inflation 10% wage increase? The current inflation is not wage driven. Its shareholder driven. Yet I hear no talks of dividend or share buy back caps, why are you not proposing caps on shareholder or executive income?
What I posted was not a criticism, it was an observation from the posts involved... You felt ridiculed by jonney but went onto ridicule him then called foul when it was presented back to you. That's called hypocrisy.
I think the issue is you seem to feel anyone disagreeing with you as "having a jab". You're in for a tough ride in life if that's how you see things all the time.
It's not hostile but it has its fair share of numpties.
Ouch. What a load of unsubstantiated nonsense backed by nothing but hot air.
