      cool.

      they presumably also have a supply chain for petrol and for diesel. secret shipments, refineries, deliveries, storage tanks. they will all be kept full and chugging while the public bear the draught.

        Hell, you don’t even need to go as far as the military for that. The upper class is doing just fine, better than ever in fact, it’s the proletariat that is suffering, as always.

          Its a completely different thing to bring in things for rich people (who can pay anything), or bringing in thousands of tons of gasoline. The latter needs a lot more workers, but wages are so low that no one wants to do it, except for eastern europeans (who were thrown out).
