YOOO PG&E WTF Work & Housing

800sq foot apartment. 2 people. Are. You. Kidding. Me.

Called PG&E to tell them they made a mistake. They said “hmm no it looks like the meter is working fine. Nothing we can do, that’s the price.”

No appliance change. No lifestyle changes. And even if we had, how the F*CKK could a 1bd apartment create a $630 bill?? Also yes, the previous bill. On me for not checking our auto payments. Just assumed they wouldn’t be more than $120….!? Dumb assumption on my part

I hate PG&E.

^I know it’s a hostile statement. But I think we can all agree an exception can be made for PG&E…

that is not going to lower the bill, we need more consumer advocates in cpuc.

The governor appoints the CPUC. We can do an initiative so more than half the appointees cannot be former employees of a utility company. No stockholders either due to conflict of interest.

Won’t make a significant difference so long as they’re all appointed by the governor. Need to make half elected positions.

That would be ok with me.
