So, I started thinking about the national budget. Many nations last year received $6 billion USD each for consideration of some business arrangement that included the USA. Get $6 billion and you can still say NO to the deal and keep the money. Remember, it was taxpayer money funneled to a foreign entity. It is not enough to help the population of 333,000,000 in the USA, except for loose change per person. I recall the number used to be over 500,000,000 people. Even so, with massive migration undocumented for a proper census this number is much higher than 333 mil.
This money can eliminate student loans, deliver credits toward the water bill that has become insanely high or to eliminate the cost of electricity. These are my two peeves today.
Water is a human necessity and managing sewer and solid waste should be a separate statement. Likewise, if alternate current (AC) electricity can not be managed and delivered to people with local management, then perhaps it is time to manage the resource in a different or direct current (DC) style or metered kind.
Have you noticed that an electric company does not have to physically be located in the state to which they are selling services? When there is a ballot measure to vote for “greener” sourced electricity, have you wondered why they are in a distant state? They do not send a team to lay wires in the vicinity…because it was previously done.
I will tell you what I discovered during a home visit to set up my cable to the fiber optic system offered at the time. The home tech came over and said I was broadcasting, and this needed to stop. I was not broadcasting from home, so I thought he was nuts. I called him out on it. He paraphrased to say that I was emitting energy waves because somewhere there was faulty wiring. Well, he fixed it and later I brought up Tesla. He showed me the electric meter that has a round coil that circulates inside the box that was essentially a Tesla meter. The electric companies manage the electricity through cables. Otherwise, when unchecked it would destroy, melt, or burn a structure so the managers or electric companies build their generational wealth by charging us for usage when the power is free. If the cable lines were paid for 10-20 years ago then it is like a lease that goes on forever and they cover replacement costs. But they are obfuscating how citizens can harness this power on our own land.
These electric companies are like industrialists that built their wealth forging a path and then charging each of us ‘forever fees’ on the property that we own. I am speaking of home and property owners not renters or lease holders. However, growing older would make it difficult to do this kind of maintenance. But when the bill gets higher by leaps and bounds, then it may be time to find another solution.
