Maybe stop spreading bullshit then, Especially as it relates to critical social issues

To quote from your original comment about the warming climate:

“No complaints here.”

Piss off “bub”

But the temperature is way above the historical average

Actually for the last three years we’ve been experiencing Lanina conditions which makes things colder here than the otherwise would be.

And within the next few months the El Niño and La Nina weather cycle is actually supposed to enter a neutral phase.

And none of that accounts for the radical change in climate we’ve been experiencing over the last few decades and especially over the last decade.

But keep on watching Fox News and popping out misinformation tp discount the serious nature and threat of climate change.

Unfucking believable ignorance

Maybe not cheerlead for it?

“Iz gOod Cuz iT rEDooZes mE hEaTiNg BiLLs!”

Gotta love the ignorance of comments like this

And as far as utility bills go I had to install air conditioning in my house this past summer for the first time ever and will have to run it more frequently during the summer year after year as things continue to get worse.

I didn’t realize that cities were banning them entirely but after thinking about it it’s obviously a good practice

If people want to use gas stoves in an area where their vented fumes aren’t going to end up in somebody elses building that’s entirely different

That makes sense in a city where venting your stove outside often means venting up into neighbors windows above you.

In fact there was a post on Reddit just last week or so that got a lot of attention on the front page where someone reported that they had been on all kinds of medications for breathing problems until they figure it out that a restaurant located at street level was venting out of their building and all the gases were coming up through their open window into their apartment located on a higher level just across the alleyway.

So banning gas stoves entirely within a city makes perfect sense and is a good practice

The government is not taking away anyone’s gas stove and no one has suggested that they should

For anyone who doesn’t realize it an unhooded and unvented gas stove is a serious risk to indoor air quality and your health

At some point in the future state and/or the federal government may require any new constructions with gas stoves to include an outdoor vented hood. That would just be common sense and good practice.

The quote is not anywhere close to 30 years old

Dear racists, traitors, fascists, and far right conservatives,

Maine’s still got a bayonet with your name on it and always will

Dear MAGA conservatives and other various far righters as well as christian nationalists and mega church lovers:

You will not fit in here.

You will not find yourselves welcomed in the State or its communities.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that because Maine is one of the whitest states that your toxic views will be supported or condoned here.

Outside of a few town crazies most people will shun and avoid you.

Maine is overall a liberal state and it’s homegrown conservatives tend to be moderate.

And despite the fact that Maine has many churches and many people who attend services it come out in survey after survey to be the least religiously zealous state in the nation.

If people here attend church at all they tend to do it in a casual manner and the churches tend to function as a social clubs And mutual support centers more than anything else.

There’s a strong ethic of live and let live here and proselytizing and religious fanatics are very much looked down upon.

Your account has -2 karma and zero posts and every single comment on it is defending CMP.

I encourage everyone reading this post to check your account history for themselves.

Disagreeing with me doesn’t make you a corporate shill, BEING a blatant and obvious corporate shill account is what makes you a corporate shill.

You’re doing such a horrible job on Reddit promoting the interests of CMP that if I was your paymaster at CMP I would fire you immediately

Oh look another corporate shill account with zero karma and almost all the comments in their history are promoting the interest of CMP

You do understand that we can see the history of all the sock puppet accounts you are creating right?

Your transparently corrupt corporate shill efforts to sway Maine citizens opinions Will only result in even more Mainers opposing CMP and voting in support of the pines tree state power initiative ballot measure.

Your account has -4 karma and all of your comments are in support of CMP

My account is the genuine account of a tax paying and voting Maine Citizen

It’s a typical tactic of corporate crooks to accuse their opponents of spreading the type of disinformation that they themselves are spreading

And it’s laughable that you would suggest that CMP or versant have any interest at all in opposing climate change because they certainly do not. Their only interest is in their own profit.

Every time that you make a comment with one of the corporate sock puppet shill accounts that you have created you only encourage Maine citizens on Reddit to give even more support to the Pine tree State power initiative ballot measure.

Oh look! Another paid for shill corporate account Created only to promote the interest of these corrupt for-profit utility companies.

Your account has only one karma and all of your comments are defending CMP and Versant.

You understand that we all can see your account history right?

How do you feel about yourself being paid to spread disinformation on behalf of sleazy companies that are gouging consumers?

None of the energy from the proposed power cord or will ever go to Maine

It’s all intended to be sold to Massachusetts

Your point is a false corporate talking point

Anyone can see the history of your account.

Every single comment made by your account has been made in support of these private utility companies.

You are a corporate shill.

I have no doubt that CMP and/or Versant are paying you to do this.

Your account is an example of the type of sleazy media efforts that these corrupt utility companies will pour their money into to oppose this peoples referendum

With a little bit of artful financial accounting it’s very easy for them to benefit from the supply rate going up and they also benefit from the delivery rates going up which have also risen dramatically over the past several years.

Both CMP and Versant Power in fact currently have proposed hikes in their delivery rates before the PUC.

These two corporations are incredibly corrupt and they actively corrupt our government in their own interests.

Vote for the pine tree State powers initiative in 2023!

All rate hikes must be first requested by CMP and/or Versant

They then use their vast wealth and political capital to pressure the PUC into passing them

For the last three years JD Powers and associates annual survey has ranked both CMP and Versant Power at the very bottom.

Both of these privately owned for-profit utility companies have increased rates faster over the last several years than in any other time in Maines history, increasing their profits 4x, while the quality of their service is literally the worst in the nation.

These are corrupt and incompetent corporations that only care about extracting as much wealth from Maine as possible and care nothing for their customers.

There are many articles detailing their long history of corruption. Here is just one:

Vote for the Pine tree State power initiative ballit measure in 2023 and vote these criminals out of our power grid!

In case you need a short lesson on how the corruption within for profit utility companies typically works here’s a good segment from last week tonight on the issue:

Of course there are other even more blatant types of corruption, like political bribery, and I’m sure CMP engages in that as well.

The school is a hotbed of alcohol abuse, binge drinking, hazing, bullying, sexual assault, mysogyny, and homophobia.

The administration and board needs to be cleared out with a flamethrower and the entire institution reformed.

Can someone please post a video of this?
