NC Water “Crisis” Continues
Well, of course, just for the peons, NOT for government or those favored by government.
The Worst Drought In The History Of The World Ever ™ continues. And the government has been “encouraging” peasants to limit their water use with the use of non-judicial fines and other punishments. Remember, only some people are supposed to limit their water use. Some people don’t have to. And now, these stupid government rules have created, yes, ANOTHER PROBLEM!
Ready for this one?
Since the peasants (that’s working people or citizens in other words) have been responsible and reducing their water use (mostly out of fear of fines or jail time from government), the government is now complaining that they’re not collecting enough in fees! Yes, since you did as you were told and used less water, government hasn’t PROFITED enough from water sales — so they’re going to fine you more.
Yes, instead of doing the logical thing (reducing spending), they’re going to make you pay MORE for the water you’re NOT using. Hey morons in government — if you’re selling LESS water, how come is doesn’t COST LESS to sell it?
Oh, and government-favored businesses and government? Not to worry, YOUR rates won’t change — just those of the peons. And in case you’re a REAL sucker, you might actually believe the miserable, selfish bums:
Council members said they hoped the rates could go back down once the drought ends.
Liars, the damn lot of them. I’d bet my mortgage that rates wouldn’t go down if we had two hurricanes in a week.

Sadly, you are probably correct. BS is what that is.
More than that, I believe it’s openly lying. I don’t believe those people have ANY intention of EVER reducing rates.
Why should they, it sounds like a cash cow and you know how much your state gooberment loves to steal money from the constituency that elects them over, and over, and over again!
Worse — it’s how government works today. They ALWAYS get money to meet their needs. While people have to respond and react to good times and bad times, the government just spends no matter what. That’s just sick.
[...] as has been recently witnessed in Charlotte, NC, if the utility doesn’t bring in the money they expect, they will raise the rates. In other [...]
