An important date is coming up soon. For many of us during this pandemic, the only safe way to vote is by mail. And voting is not just a right or privilege; it’s a necessity if our democracy is to work.
It’s not too early to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Here’s a chart of deadlines for the states so you can submit your request for an absentee/mail-in ballot in plenty of time. Put it on your calendar. Better yet, send in your request today.
I decided I’d like to own a utility company. I’ve started, owned, and operated other businesses. But now I realize that public utility companies have a huge financial advantage I never had in my other businesses (or any others that I’m aware of). That is, they can be fined by the government, make repairs that have to be done to keep the business going, and make improvements to make the business more profitable–and make consumers pay for it all! It doesn’t matter that other (especially small) businesses have to pay for all this themselves or that many consumers have trouble paying higher rates for something that’s a necessity of life, often having to give up some other necessity of life.
Yes, I want to own a utility company. To Hell with my soul!
