	Isabella M. Weber ⁦‪@IsabellaMWeber‬⁩ The energy crisis has been the worst of times for most Europeans, but the best of times for energy companies. When emergencies mean record profits in essential sectors, public and corporate interests are not aligned. We need a new playbook of emergency economics. ⁦‪@EP_Petitions‬⁩ pic.twitter.com/xkhtHMUiuu   2024/02/16 6:36

We have to recognize that shocks to essentials, like the energy sector have massive, massive implications for social and economic stability. Let me reiterate this point and that this results in a situation where basically it ends up being the worst of times for most of us, but the best of times for certain corporations that benefit very disproportionately from these kind of price explosions.

So i think looking forward, this raises the question of whether we can entrust the systemically significant sectors purely to these private corporations that have learned that the worst of times for everybody in the worst shock and the largest shock that Europe has experienced in recent history,

they have reaped the largest profits in their whole history.

エネルギー部門のような必需品へのショックは、社会的・経済的安定に甚大な影響を及ぼすことを認識しなければならない。

その結果、私たちの多くにとっては最悪の事態になるが、特定の企業にとっては最高の事態になる。

このような価格爆発から不釣り合いな利益を得ている。

このような事態を前にして、システミックに重要なセクターを、純粋に民間企業に任せていいのかという疑問が湧いてくる、

彼らは史上最大の利益を手にしたのである。
