Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year.
And these rising electricity prices means more people are unable to pay, so more people are getting their power shutoff.

Once I see that some media outlet or podcast or whatever is doing industry propaganda, or giving time and platform to industry propaganda, I just don't trust anything else they're putting out, because all of it becomes suspect. Are they inserting industry propaganda in other things too?

The reason why any industry, no matter how much better than other industries, is not going to be the friend of environmental protection or public health, because they will inevitably want to sell more and more, growth being the primary goal of all industry. So better industries won't fix things.

It's aggravating to watch all these social media elites who minimized the pandemic, who consistently disparaged disabled people for speaking up, who defended Biden's pro-industry "it's over" policies, who are now telling us they're the champions of public health against MAHA. Forgive my "skepticism"

My fellow Americans, you have the right to speak up. It doesn't matter if you think the politicians or whoever won't listen or don't want to hear it, that shouldn't stop anyone and spiral us into silence and acceptance of the unacceptable.

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.
At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
