Im deadling with a utility company that is lying about past occurances and its attempting to ad insult to injury and I have no other option but to bend over an comply because there is NO other company I can go to. What would you say is YOUR worst utility companies?
Hello everyone! :2wave:
In this poll I voted Cable/Dish Company. Out of all the listed utilities in the poll, my worst experiences by far have been with my Cable Company.
Ive said for a long time...that no one should be profiting off anything that people must have...Like Electric, water and natural gas for heating...its the profit factor that always gets in the way of and comes before people
Electricity is required??? When I was a kid we had our electricity turned off for six months we got along fine. Oil went to less than 10 bucks a barrel pop was a welder so not enough work. Admitedly we were in California but it does get cold here during the winter it drops to the low 20's and teens in deep winter. That aint Maine or New York or Michigan cold but still if you have gas or heating oil you should be able to get by. Electricity is not a requirement.
Yet without some level of profit motive, these services would be in much more limited supply than they are now. In some places, they probably wouldn't be available at all. Or if they were available, they might as well be non-existent for most people as they would be prohibitively expensive.Ive said for a long time...that no one should be profiting off anything that people must have...Like Electric, water and natural gas for heating...its the profit factor that always gets in the way of and comes before people
My local power company wanted to do the same thing. Have customers essentially pre-pay for a nuclear power plant... that may never get built. And, to make it even better, if it didn't get built, all that money that ratepayers coughed up would be down the drain and gone forever.Progress electric (largely owned by Chinese now). They raised rates 50% to pre-pay for two new nukes that they aren't sure if they actually are going to build or not, and if they do they'll go on line in 15 to 20 years.

-10 is deep winter wow that's warm.
I am from California, we have palm trees and sunny days a lot of the year. -10 is fricken cold. Freeze the nards off cold. -10 is the frozen tundra cold. Hell the frozen foods section of the grocer is warmer than that. Its actualy warmer in my freezer. I need my parka now.:ninja:
In the winter time here, we have wind chills down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, with normal temps well below zero.
Welcome to Kansas. Where one day it's 60, and the next its 28.
