There is bus service in the relatively flat parts of LA. My take is there no demand for this in the more expensive hilly suburbs.
Same dodge, different recipient. When I worked in Georgia, the power company asked if I'd contribute some small amount to "help the poor pay their power bills". I replied that it just looked like a way for the power company to insure that they got paid.
I suggested a plan we used in California back in the '70s. Low cost loan to extra insulate the house and add a couple of bucks to the bill until it is paid. The savings in power more than paid for the loan.
Never heard back from them.
I pay $7 a month to NOT have a smart meter on my house. Ill run my electricity on my schedule not that of the power company.
Great. The bastards want me to pay $1200/year for nothing. To hell with them.
“Only about 2,000 or 3,000 years ago that little piece of land currently known as “Central Park” (the one in Manhattan) was enveloped in a glacier about 2,000 feet thick.
That glacier vanished into thing air about 2,000 years before the advent of the internal combustion engine.”
Please proofread before posting! Your two sentences are partially contradictory. You say that as recently as maybe 2000 years ago there was a glacier about 2000 feet thick which disappeared 2000 years before advent of the internal combustion engine which happened well under 2000 years later. You seem to have no concern for accuracy. It takes a long time for 2000 feet of ice to melt.
