Local news whining about electric rate hikes with lots of sad stories about people returning from the Sugar Bowl or the Paris Olympics or both and complaining about the greedy (regulated by the deep blue Oregon Public Utility Commission) electric utility. They will report that the utility is claiming higher costs and then silence. No mention is that higher costs relate to much higher natural gas prices and state mandated use of expensive non-reliable solar and wind energy all as a result of dem energy policies.
PGE asks Oregon regulators for bigger rate hike next year
Portland General Electric, otherwise known as PGE, is asking for a 10.9% rate increase for its customers starting in 2025.By FOX 12 StaffPublished: Aug. 1, 2024 at 2:56 PM PDT
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - Portland General Electric had requested a 7.4% rate increase for next year, but now they’re asking for more. The corporation now says they want a 10.9% rate increase.
In April and May this year, a record number of households were disconnected due to non-payment. Since 2021, PGE rates have increased by 43.8%.
Jeezus. 43.8% rate hike in 3 years? Record number of disconnects? I thought this was the greatest economy ever, fueled by our investments in nefarious, unaccounted for foo foo dust investments in "renewable energy".
You want a thread/topic you won't get rats to participate in? Start one about 43.8% increases in electricity in that petri dish of a liberal utopia that is Oregon.
The problem is, there are a lot of smart people in Oregon and they have to suffer right along with the dumbasses who continually vote in democrats who clearly know nothing other than knowledge of how to destroy entire states, the education system, the military, minority families, the middle class, etc.

You've confused me with a day trader, Madam.
Accumulating assets at lowered prices isn't the horror you imagine.
I knew then Harris boys would get to: why the market crashing is a good thing. I just didn’t think we’d get there so quick.
It's just a thing. Not good or bad. Don't hit me with your value judgments, man!
(Like Daddy, I can see opportunity in declining prices though.)
Stock market up
Great job by Biden
Stock market crash
Great job by Biden
Here on the bored, I've been quite clear that the POTUS deserves neither credit nor blame for this.
Fears of global recession? Last I heard, the global economy has to do with the globe. George Soros is in charge of that. Blame him, ladies.
Dow did better under Trump also.
HH made money, or so he says.
Up ~45% under Trump. Up ~33% under Biden.

You've got about a half hour to get your Buy order in.
Opportunity doesn't fall in one's lap every day. Obviously, in your case.

You probably shouldn't have cashed out today.
He claims to be cash heavy in an inflationary red hot economy.
I wouldn't take anything he says too seriously.
🤡🤡🤡
I like to hold some cash. That cash has been earning anywhere from 4.5 to 5.4%. Inflation is a lot lower.
Anyway, today was a great day to put a little of that cash into other things. And I did.
Surething lady, I'm sure you're $500 of buying Walmart is going to be a real deal.
No doubt they keep you far away from decisions on the trust.
