Let's tank the government by hiking gas prices!

Zack and Milton will cover his tab.😂

Running around the country telling everyone to crank up the heat because they'll pick up the tab... I suppose entering politics has never been easier. 😍😍

I have a suggestion for everyone who hates the current administration: crank your thermostats up to the max. I know for a fact I'll be doing it. 😈

If we all do this, we'll trigger a shortage that’ll fuel massive public outcry against Prime Minister Ivo and his cabinet. People get incredibly restless when their homes drop below freezing. No amount of political spin can fix that kind of discontent.

No more waiting. Let's get to work!

Go ahead and blast your gas heater until you freeze; meanwhile, I'll just toss another log of oak onto my wood stove and sit there in the warmth, watching on TV as you lot try to topple the government while shivering.

The Democratic Party crew led by Jurcic—or maybe it’s Milanovic, or hell, maybe it's Jurcic again... I can't even keep track of who's actually in charge anymore. Anyway, those are the ones footing the bill for the next gas bill.😂😂😂

Word on the street is they aren't just covering the gas, but the water and electricity bills too.
I suppose I’ll be taking showers every single day from now on. haha 😍😍

Nah.

All you're gonna do is end up with a massive utility bill that looks like a phone number. Plus, you'll probably get sick from the constant back-and-forth between your boiling house and the freezing air outside.

YEAH! Just keep going that way... maybe Sanders will decide to pay your gas bills for you, or he can freeze instead of you if your little wish actually comes true. And honestly, how are you any better than Sanders or this government? You claim people are suffering because of them, but they’d be suffering even more if they listened to you—you're suggesting freezing people out rather than offering one single constructive idea...
I knew there were some dim bulbs in this group, but this is getting ridiculous...

Honestly, you have no idea how weird this place gets or the kind of nonsense people suggest here.
I’m just sitting here waiting for someone to start a thread claiming Sanders paid for a winter retreat for another 250,000 Americans just to save a few bucks on heating bills.😵😁

Honestly, that’s not even a bad idea. It might be even better to ship a bunch of Americans off to Tanzania until the winter passes—it's definitely cheaper there.

Why not just send all the "bottom-feeders" on the government dime to Borneo (the local name for Kalimantan), since apparently they still have cannibals out there?
Just think about the benefits: save on gas; America flourishes without that disruptive element (and the only cost would be travel, since we wouldn't need housing); and the people in Borneo (Indonesia) would be grateful for the gift and a partial solution to hunger...

That won't work—I heard from someone down by the Mississippi that white meat isn't even good enough for them... so that whole plan falls apart before it even starts.

Though if they labeled it "LIVESTOCK," they might actually stand a chance. 🤷

Well, if that's the case, let's just stop sending American citizens over to America then...

Look, man, everything needs a bit of moderation.

And for those complaining about the cost, this crisis hasn't bumped the price by a single cent. 😛

Well, once your plan reaches its conclusion (no waiting, time to act!), one has to admit that given how "original" this post is, you seem pretty agitated and desperate to see the current leadership toppled as soon as possible. Since your little scheme might take far too long—given that the US has huge natural gas reserves and considering Sanders's legendary knack for maneuvering through crises—let me offer a suggestion for using gas that's much faster and more efficient...

Since you clearly believe there's a massive group of like-minded people willing to sacrifice themselves just to bring down the government, why not organize a mass suicide instead? In a day or two, once you've coordinated to ensure a high turnout, just crank the gas open in your apartments and blow yourselves up all at once. If you leave behind apology letters stating you did it because of the ruling party, I think even someone with the questionable moral compass shown by Sanders would be forced to resign under that kind of intense public pressure...

And to make sure your many potential followers actually take you seriously, as a true leader who should set the example, you ought to go out first tomorrow morning so we can get the news of your magnificent action moving quickly...

That one hits the mark. 🤣

Got any other doublespeak like that?

I honestly don't know how anyone survives more than 2,000 posts on a political forum filled with this kind of mindless, brown-nosing chatter...
I mean, you really can't see when someone points out that Sanders is just as much of a moral disaster as his current political rivals in the US? You think it's "kissing up" just because someone calls out a complete lack of integrity... I think you might be having some serious trouble with basic logic here...

See how petty you're being? People in Borneo are incredibly kind, and your mind immediately jumps to cannibals. That’s not a great look.😢

I'm not complaining about the price, not by a long shot—if anything, gas is still dirt cheap.

It’s just that you're picking some pretty weird ways to try and take down the administration...🤷

Maria Murphy says:
And why on earth would we send those bottom-feeders off on the taxpayer's dime to somewhere like Borneo... So, word on the street is there might still be a cannibal out there....
Imagine if we just cut ties with gas entirely. America would finally flourish without that constant disruption... the only downside being travel expenses, since we wouldn't need to pay for lodging anymore. Meanwhile, the folks in Borneo would be eternally grateful for the gift and a partial solution to their hunger issues.

If you read the post again, it might make more sense. My mistake, though—I should have checked if cannibals still roam around Borneo today, given that they were definitely a thing there not all that long ago...
And maybe they’re just incredibly polite, so you can flash them a smile right before they devour you...

So today, Jurčić and Slinić basically promised they'd cover your ConEd bill if you could somehow topple the administration. Go ahead—crank that thermostat up to ninety and see what happens.😁😂
