  There was a shortage. Do you understand? A SHORTAGE. Oil and gas isn't a Spotify subscription that you can just create out of thin air. 
  There was a shortage of gas. Everyone wants gas. Why shouldn't price rise in the face of that? Keeping prices at the same level in face of a shortage is idiotic beyond belief, actually it is even amoral. How do you differentiate between customers who really need it and customers who don't?

  The corporate consensus is, if your company isn't growing, it's dying.
  It's been the norm for quite some time now, it's just extremely visible in the light of the energy and trade crisis, because everyone can directly feel a stark increase in living costs, but not in salary. Again, because your company also aims for growth.

  Company sells something people need to buy but recquire high capex and opex and need trained   -- people: how dare they  make money.  they should just donate everything to the poor, because that is a great  investment, as long the intent is good,consistently losing money is ok. >
  
  There is an unbelievable difference between losing money and 40 billion in profits. I understand the angle you are trying to come from, with the whole risk and reward thing. However, especially in the current global economic recession, no company needs to make profits of that degree when people cannot afford to live. The profits are beyond reasonable, and are the highest they have ever been. It is unreasonable for an entity to take advantage of current world situations, that being the Ukraine war, in order to hike the price on a necessity just to pay shareholders.
