Washington	The company said that’s around 300 times higher than the normal wholesale price, and even though 99% of homes had electricity by Thursday evening, PUCT left the pricing in place. "The market is supposed to set the prices, not political appointees," the company said. "We intend to fight this for, and alongside, our customers for equity and accountability – to reveal why such price increases were allowed to happen as millions of Texans went without power." How can you have the market set prices with fed., state, local governments regulating everything? @jameslavish If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (one full extra week per month+) to make up the difference. This is inflation

And the whole time the morons you are dealing with act like your the one at fault by inconveniencing them to do their fughing job and get their schitt straight to get your money back. No wonder they have mass shootings sometimes or some guy goes on a rampage with a tank. Cause some dumb clerk in billing hit a wrong fugging entry that interferred with her facebook glimpse time between " work task" and then caused a person to deal with morons trying to unfugg schit to get their money back.

Heat-waves, hurricanes, and ice storms? I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
