I know what you mean, I’m getting pretty frustrated lately too. We have started to sacrifice a lot to cut costs all while my family is paying for somebody else’s free ride. The family that lives on the other side of the street are “poor” and have had their utilities paid for them through some program. Yet they leave the porch light on all night, charge the battery for their kids motorized car, have just about every light on in the house all the time and I’m sure they run their A/C 24/7.
What a wonderful world!
No incentive to conserve when it’s all free.
