      The usual „People engaging in uplifting charity isn’t uplifting because we’re supposed to live in a Utopia where the government takes care of all our needs and wants… but also stays out of our lives and doesn’t try to restrict any of our freedoms and also we all get either a pet unicorn or dragon and a billion dollars.“ post.

      Wood banks exist because modern energy systems are already failing in parts of the country. As heating costs rise, grids become less reliable, and assistance programs fall short. Communities are reverting to manual fuel just to survive winter. The spread of data centers, climate volatility, and privatized utilities is pushing demand beyond what infrastructure can handle, especially in rural areas.

      Having more poor people does not mean a collapse is happening. Otherwise almost all countries should have fallen by now.

      The chatGPT writing is INSUFFERABLE but the fact that the richest country in the world is reduced to this is absolutely pathetic.

      Wait until they find out about food banks.

      You want a sign of societal collapse, have institutions that only exist because we don’t pay large portions of the country enough to be able to feed their families.

      In Germany a few years ago when energy prices rose we saw a lot of people upgrade their homes with decorative ovens to use wood as alternative cheap fuel source… it was a mix of maintaining lifestyle while upping appearances.

      The immediate effect it had was that the streets started smelling of wet burned wood all the time. If you have a type of modern heating that does air exchange you were screwed.

      This article uses the word „supposed“ twice, and as usual, it’s a „weasel word.“ It is „supposing“ that „institutions“ (i.e. the government) should be providing assistance instead of volunteer communities.

      That’s a premise a substantial portion of the population does not agree with.
