France is having a general strike right now. Don't even gotta go back in time.

Why do the French have so much more balls than we do?

IMO it’s their collective culture. The US doesn’t have that, since it’s made up of so many different people from different places. The US is more like the EU as a whole with the states being individual countries.

They have strong labor unions. That’s also why they get like 12 weeks of vacation a year.

I live in an 882 square foot apartment and my electric bill was $505 in December

Oof that’s gnarly. My bill just about doubled despite having less usage than last month. I called to complain, but I didn’t get anywhere

I lived in a poorly insulated building dowtown and racked up 1500 in electric bills in three months. Had to pay it all too. No help from the leasing office. Took me over a year to pay it completely off. Stay away from Bancroft on the grid!

Yeah, literally got a solar install in 2020, bill dropped down to 40-50 depending on weather in winter. It used to be like 120-150 depending on the use of the electric heaters in basement.
After the wage hike, I'm right back up to 120-150. For the same electrical use as the year before.
So pissed

They do this all the time, they’re gonna drop prices 44% because “they care about the customers and the feedback” then they can get good publicity AND a 20% day at raise

Unfortunately, this is the cost of decarbonization.

The first one isn't about "feeling bad" it's about reducing strain on the power grid.

We are SO overdue for a reenactment of the French Revolution!
