I'm aware that like so many, I put "value of experience" to one side, or rather traded it in for the experience of comfort and security.

From what I know about your life it seems to me you’ve enjoyed both.

It was a regressive tax though. Fuel should be nationalized and distributed equally without consideration of wealth.
