    Don’t you have something like an energy board to protect your citizens against price hikes by power companies.

      If we did, it would be populated by MAGAs who would take bribes to let the power company put ALL the costs on the residential consumers. Except for the wealthy neighborhood. They deserve a break, because they’re better.

        • People with wealth have more time on their hands and are also more likely to have a mentality that they deserve what they have more than others. Many of them are obsessed with hierarchy whether they realize it or not, allowing them to dismiss the troubles of the commoners with talk of personal responsibility.

            But there is a personal responsibility to check the job market, get your credit up to a good standing, make sure you read your loan agreement terms, make sure youre not gonna get done learning and go into a saturated field that will no longer exist in 4 to 8 years.

            When it comes to investing in yourself: People have to stop investing in bullshit and start investing in practicality.

            Why do you think so many people turn to medical professions, hard labor jobs or STEM. They’re the only ones left that you can afford and it’ll make you a decent ROI where you’re not going to be trapped for 50 years in a loan.

            You don’t need wealth, just using your spare time getting involved is enough to boost the ranks.
