A friend who's well-informed and far savvier than I am about financial matters — he spent part of his working life as a tax accountant — texts me today to say,

I reply:

"That’s the game! And we are helpless, we little people — just pawns in the game."

"Natural gas prices soared Tuesday, as heating demand is expected to spike due to a blast of frigid weather across the U.S.

Prices surged about 26%, or 80 cents, to $3.91 per million British thermal units. Natural gas is used primarily for heating and electricity generation."
