My electricity bill went up nearly 40% in the last month, so I’m not surprised that some people aren’t paying the bill.

So next month Rat Party Headquarters will propose a trillion dollar bailout for these people. And then in September of ‘24 they'll propose another trillion.The same thing they'll do with student loans.

(Typed in my best Obama voice) If you like cheap electricity for charging your EV, you can keep it.

All according to plan. Stupid, dependent people are easily controlled.

Not to worry. The “Inflation Reduction Act” will usher in a wonderful new era of low-cost, zero-carbon, highly-reliable, and plentiful energy. Everybody’s power bill will shrink very quickly, any year now.

But, yeah, pay off student loans. That’s the important thing.

Insects taste just as good raw as they do cooked on an electric stove, so we have that going for us.

And, by bailout they mean:

Keep voting democrat and we will keep sending money to the utilities. That way, they won’t need to cut prices and their stock value will not go down (since we all own a large amount
of their stock...)

And, because the plants the produce fertilizer will begin - as they have across Europe - to shut down, next year food will be less plentiful. As electricity rates rise, industries that need lots of power like aluminum production will also shut, throwing thousands out of work.

So cold, dark, jobless, and hungry.

Followed by mass social unrest as the West de-industrializes and becomes ungovernable, except by brute force.

Wealthy Greens, like Gates, are all smiles!

Biden policy:

If you can't pay your utility bill, install solar panels.....and pay the $400/month loan costs.....

Oh, panels and batteries are in short supply?....and are primarily sourced in China?

I kind of saw this coming when the environmentalist wackos started shutting down power plants. This is just the beginning. Wait until those 20 million U.S. homes bring home a new bright and shiny EV. ROTFL!!! They’ll be working the pink bunny with the big bass drum to death. Heh Heh. They’re going to need bigger solar panels.

Yep.

The same people who think that purchasing a $60-70k electric car they can’t afford anyway sounds reasonable.

I looked into solar panels - my power bill is about $100/month. The solar panels are $25k and need to be replaced in about ten years so I will be paying $200/month to finance the solar panels PLUS a service charge from the power company which will equal to more than DOUBLE what I am paying now.
