.28! Bro...
I wonder if he'll just get reelected?
Good thing they have all the millions of more important things solved than Wikipedia 😡
As an uninformed resident, this is frustrating to learn, or hear confirmed.
I personally am so conditioned to assume all rates and fees are ways to keep padding executive bonuses, keep investors getting paid dividends only taxed at 1% instead of my 22%, and have nothing to do with supporting long term goals.
Maybe regulation is the only way to force investment in infrastructure and cap executive compensation and investor profit.
Maybe the government should run it since there should be no profit involved in utilities providing the basics of modern life, oh wait, they definitely won't screw all that up either, ha
I had not heard about this either. We are on Duke up here. I looked a bunch of years ago and the rate was .11 cents per kwh. That's pretty cheap. Now I'm interested in looking again.
There are many places in the world that present like they are paying extremely high rates.
There's not really competition in utilities, it's supposed to be "regulated".
I agree with your point. The military does this a lot too. Training requirements are important and necessary.
The guy is still a giant hypocrite in some obvious ways, I can't seem to shake my distain.
I think I asked this before, but does anyone support this? Currently, I do not.
Can anyone explain why people care about votes on Lemmy? Isnt it like winning a contest no one's play, or am I missing something?
Yeah, damn, I always forget about that...just like they want...
Bold statements.
It took reading pretty far before calling for action from city leaders finally turned to calling for parents.
I think most rational people believe that law enforcement alone can't properly protect kids from themselves and there likely isn't enough manpower in the system to start locking up all the teens. Maybe that would taper off as the rules got enforced more.
I want to believe this should be a combination of parents and city, but mostly parents. I don't think I'd let my son run around even until 10 or 11 at night.
So what's happening here that isn't an easy solve? If it was as easy as telling parents to get your kids inside, we wouldn't have the article.
There was plenty of politics mentioned, but is that what's at play or far more complex social issues?
I guess I don't understand how you can vote in our state's elections and not be a citizen.
I consistently find myself frustrated by the government's inability to maintain our identification systems in an effective, accurate, and efficient way.
Some ID is free, some costs money which I disagree with, some has to be done in person which is annoying for less mobile people.
Maybe if we could get those things addressed, it could also accurately track naturalization and allow new citizens to vote without allowing non citizens. Doesn't seem impossible in 2025, and yet ...
I agree with heavy commercial vehicles doing more damage, and wouldn't be as opposed in their case.
The downside of course being higher costs for freight since we have had 100+ years of dismantling rail, which I heard was most economical way to move freight, but slower.
My plate fee for a Tacoma was $600. I don't see how that can get higher.
Not that I could affect anything, but I wish we had more insight into the road project costs, and where money goes.
Every girl needs somebody to eat their...cat.
