The local Freecycle has people begging for space heaters, claiming
they can't afford to buy them. If they can't afford $20 for a heater,
how can they pay to run the damned things? One woman was complaining
that her kids couldn't stand the 65 degrees in their room. Buy a
blanket, and get on with life.

She should get new kids with better tolerance to low temperatures.
Millions of people in cold climates never get their heat up that high
and never have a problem. 65 is quite tolerable and common in Europe
where energy is very expensive. Put a hat on.
