Yep, we were discussing it towards the end of last night's show - one, my elderly mother (and the elderly in general) are a liability. They do not turn lights off, they leave doors open with the AC, they turn 20 space heaters on and the boomer mentality is "get another job." I have 3 and I'm 45.
Secondly if i were "true poor" and not "middle poor" the utilities would let me not pay for MONTHS on end. If I miss a DAY they cut me off.
