    Electric companies need to be taken to task it’s getting stupid. Every year they whine about how the infrastructure can’t handle our load and tell us to sweat it out during the hottest part of the day. Then, they raise the prices with the excuse of fixing it all and never do. It’s fucking criminal

      Electric companies need to be taken to task it’s getting stupid.

      They’ll never be taken to task, because the profits they generate go back into the political system that made them into a cartel to begin with. And efforts to break up the cartel often result in an increased dedication to organizing and opposing anti-trust practices. Its a system that Nassim Taleb might describe as “anti-fragile”.

        I truly believe we can get there eventually if we just keep trying. The world is better off without us so it’s really a win/win no matter what happens lol
