Invading Taiwan would involve 1000x more losses than Ukraine, China doesn't have 10s of millions to throw away on a fools errand. Blockade or throwing a nuke off the coast to force them into surrender are options, invasion is not.

Heat sinners face jail

Anyone who turns the heating up too high when there is a lack of energy must expect a penalty.

If there is not enough gas in winter, the federal government wants to crack down. In buildings heated with gas, the interior rooms should be brought to a maximum of 19 C degrees (66.2 degrees Fahrenheit). Hot water should only be heated to 60 C degrees (140 degrees Fahrenheit).

Radiant heaters or warm air tents would be forbidden. Saunas and swimming pools would have to stay cold.

But it gets even worse: Anyone who violates the guidelines faces imprisonment or a fine. In the case of intentional action, a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine is possible. Even in the case of negligent violations of the measures, a fine of up to 180 daily rates is conceivable.

Marco:
Rationing is the only moral way to divide non luxury goods in a crisis.

The alternative is social Darwinism.
