I wish I knew what you guys were all on about.

Sure, my bill has gone up over the years. It’s just about doubled, but it’s been over the course of 6 years. I’ve never seen the sudden price jumps everyone is talking about without reason.

Every summer we run our AC constantly, so the spike is expected, but it goes right back down, and other than that it’s just been a slow steady rise.

He's the former mayor turned DSA leader. I'm calling it out because he acts like he's an agent of change and against the establishment, but his whole career is politics. He did a push poll last summer trying to get people to ask Troy Jackson to run. Troy wasn't happy because he literally never wanted to run, but somehow Ethan made money off it or got lists of people.

That name was familiar. but I had to look him up to be sure. I seldom go to Portland.

One of the three that I've gotten letters from (all in a very distinctive style of window envelope), I never talked to on the phone. Another "cancer committee" that I hadn't heard of before sent something to the same fake name I gave the "volunteer firefighters PAC." All three use p.o. boxes in Waukesha, WI, or a nearby town. I figure it would take someone about an hour to make a round trip from whichever town they're based in, and pick up whatever might be in all three boxes.

I always tell the AI that I "don't do plastic," and they're happy to send out a donation letter so I can mail them a check. I hope they're not holding their breath while they wait for my check to arrive.

Yep, the Kim family was almost the inverse of this situation - all of the technology got them INTO the problem. I can't believe it was that long ago! I remember that one well bc my daughter was the same age as the baby, and it was too easy to imagine.

Excellent resource. I’m a mechanical engineer and actually made my own heat loss and fuel consumption calculator and can confirm that this will get you very close answers! I honestly wasted my time with the analysis thinking the Efficiency Maine calculator wasn’t good enough for my purposes and needing to be precise! 😂👍

When someone gets cancelled for having spoken the truth there is no other source to be referenced other than what that person actually said.

You cannot cite a biased so-called news outlet and allow them to assign to you whatever conclusions they are telling you to have. Dont be a bot.

“If 50% of a group of people think you shouldn’t exist, then you should probably avoid that group of people”

Weird that you’d take issue with that point. And I LOVE the notion of black people not understanding the question as you claim, or “it being loaded”. Ahh yes, they didn’t mean the thing they actually said. Got it.
