The truth about politics....
I've always said local politics is much more important than national politics. What ever happens in Washington DC has little impact on each of us. But if your garbage isn't picked up once a week that has a huge impact on your life.
We have a big power company out here, PG&E, and you can say what you want about them. They are a big company, they have issues, but they have been my power company for thirty-five years or so. No complaints.
A new company came out, and made a deal with the city government where I live... They will automatically switch your power over to this new company if you do not opt out. There was a lot of discussion about it when they first came out. The people who went with the new company pay about $5 less than the rest of us.
This week it was announced this new company will be rising their rates by 17%.
The reason my city allowed this to happen where you automatically get switched unless you opt out is because they city gets a cut of the profits.....
That's some fucked up shit.
