The affluence quandry

I woke up this morning, got out of bed and was a little chilly so sauntered to the thermostat to see hubby had turned it down a couple of degrees apparently to “save money.”. Normally I would just put it back up to my comfortable temp but I paused and thought “just put on a sweater and your slippers” which then made me angry. WHY should I have to give up MY comforts I have worked so hard to enjoy because our authoritarian government is taxing us to death. Don’t get me wrong, I really SHOULD put on a sweater and my slippers rather than consume natural resources unnecessarily but I guess my point is, I shouldn’t HAVE to because of the governments policies. I am sure they don’t put on a sweater or slippers. We live in houses that are far bigger than we need and fill them with things that are unnecessary for survival or even comfort (well I have a house full of crap I need to pare down anyways) so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to reduce the volume. I guess what I am saying is it should be our choice to reduce, downsize or give up the “stuff”, we shouldn’t be forced into these things by government officials living lavish crap filled lifestyles whilst waggling their fingers at the population who gives them that power. I for one am in favor of taking away that privilege.

During the COVID-19 nightmare, I started following the writing of a professor who calls himself Eugyppius and who has recently retired in Germany. He has turned his sharp wit on what passes for informed governance in that country.

The relentless and highly concentrated stupidity of our rulers is a very great weight to bear. Every day they devise some fantastic new and heretofore inconceivable retardation.

Now that is next-level sarcastic humour!

I read his comment after filling out a City of Calgary questionnaire regarding plans to remove LRT parking and replace it with high rise apartments. Densification is the way to go, doncha know? Is this too an example of "inconceivable retardation."

In the questionnaire, I was asked what I like about my older vintage neighbourhood with mature trees, and mostly single-family dwellings. In response, I responded that I liked,

…the wide variety of home ownership options ... The area is mature and not "cookie cutter", which is a good ...
