From each according to his ability. To each according to his needs.

Another welfare program paid for by people who actually work.

Take a basic commodity. Artificially set a low price. Stand back and wait for the shortage...

Income based means we will all be getting an added tax on our bill, when does this lunacy end

Ain't Socialism great? Mayor Kenny is a far left Progressive. The soda tax is costing businesses money and loss of jobs, and is falling far short of raising what he promised (and already spent).
Now this. Every crackhead and hoodie will use water like mad, not caring, knowing the Man is paying for it....
Meanwhile crime is rocketing in the city. I figure they will be bankrupt in a year or two. We already refer to it as the New Detroit...

What could possibly go wrong? Flint where?

So essentially usage is no longer a consideration in calculating the bill. If the criterion is based on the customer’s income then the customer can use as much water as they want and their bill can never exceed a certain amount.
In most states the regulatory agency would not permit such a rate making scheme.
To: Kid Shelleen
California is rolling out income based traffic tickets. When you get a ticket, the fine will be based on your ability to pay.

What could possibly go wrong? Somebody has to pay the difference.

But I thought Zuckerberg and Van Jones were fixing things to make being anyone the same as anyone, just draw a name any name and you’ll be happy? Socialism it’s self.

“Eventually you will run out of the people who are actually paying.” I am in the last quarter of this great life on Earth. I am sorry to leave the prospects that face my survivors. A few think that a good future awaits them. I am pessimistic now, after living a life of optimism.
