This seems like such a strange little piece, and I can't put my finger on why it raises a red flag. I absolutely feel for the people of Ukraine, but I have so many questions.

Are they trying to tell big business that they can raise prices and just point to catastrophes and we'll pay them? Had they not heard of the labor movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries? What about studying extremist politicians solidarity with apartheid Israel?

Don't know, just feels strange.

It appears to be more for customers rather than green lighting big business. Getting end users used to higher bills and no wiggle room with this logic prevents wide spread uproar.
