Here in China, residential electricity prices are subsidized by industry. If industry needs more electricity, they pay the cost for the increased prices. Residential is like 10 cents/KWH here.

Irreversible?
I have a hypothesis: a building that's been burned to the ground will consume much less resources than when it was still standing and operational.

Remember to use a large sample size, and multiple experiments to test for reproducibility

So the thing about money and economics is its like abstractions for deciding what stuff gets done and who has a say and what resources go where and now that everything is being put behind this money is being disregarded because there literally isn't enough of it to justify this distribution while keeping the rich rich that means you're being robbed to fuel the PISS fountain so money is used to limit you but not what can be taken from you
