Sure. Not long back when I was in CA, while they were rolling out the red carpet for millions of water consuming illegals, at the same time told everyone to conserve on water. When everyone cut back about 10%, they simply jacked up the water rates.
Hard to believe people just keep taking this bull s**t.
When Westinghouse was making incandescent lightbulbs in the Midwest, Indiana i think, Jeffrey Ismelt closed the factory, killed 1400 jobs, built a plant in China making florescents bulbs, prices never went down.
He did however get a big raise from Westinghouse and Clinton made him the job czar. Crazy I know.
