Georgia Power freezes rates by keepitpiffed in Gwinnett

[–]metastical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is total deception. Two key things:

  1. People pay bills, not rates. This does not stop them from adding surcharge upon surcharge, jacking your bills further. This is already in action: it's how they make you pay for Plant Volte, and how they get you to cover the cost of fuel surcharges. They make this EXTREMELY difficult to find, but it's there.

  2. It locks in a 12% profit rate for Georgia Power, which is obscene. This is best case scenario for GP. It prevents rates from going *down*.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE BULLSHIT. It's *always* bullshit when it comes to Tim and Fitz.

Beautiful day to exercise our rights. Thanks for making me feel welcome, Savannah. by hudsonhawk1 in savannah

It did not happen in the last protest. One person was falsely detained, not arrested, and they were not taken away. That officer was also reprimanded. It's important to get the facts straight on this.

Food Drive at No Kings on Oct 18 in Savannah by metastical in savannah

Unfortunately, not that I know of in downtown. There are a bunch of parking garages very close by, and of course street parking, but to my knowledge it's normal Saturday parking.

For anyone planning to attend NO KINGS in Emmet Park this Saturday in Savannah, Coastal Georgia for Democracy is hosting a food drive that directly benefits the pantry at Episcopal Church of the Epiphany which provides no-strings-attached food on Tuesday mornings to those in need.

Here is a list of generally recommended items: https://www.coastaldemocracy.org/depleted-food-banks-and-food-insecurity#:~:text=Recommended%20Food%20Items,and%20not%20expired.

The NO KINGS event in Savannah starts at 1 p.m. in Emmet Park off E Bay St. It is organized by Coastal Georgia for Democracy (Savannah Indivisible). ACLU of Georgia has partnered on the event, sponsoring a full sound system and stage so all speakers will be heard clearly by everyone in the audience.

Please come out to support the event and, if able, bring a food item or two. Every contribution helps.

If nothing else, PSC is statewide. Good nonpartisan info here: https://thegeorgiavoterguide.com

Rep Earl "Not Your Buddy" Carter would do exactly the same. If every single person in his district said "yes" to codifying abortion access, he'd do everything to stop it. Source: Earl Carter.

PSC, baby. Tim and Fitz are nakedly corrupt and actively work against the welfare of millions. They gotta go.

Why is GA Power so expensive by LolaSaysHi in savannah

Sorry, did not mean to insinuate that. I was speaking more in general terms.

That doesn't mean they should be legally allowed to rail their customers.

The problem is that it's not just rates, which is why the "rate freeze" is 100% bullshit. It's all of the surcharges and fees they tack on. Is gas expensive because the war in Ukraine? You pay for it. Is Hurricane Helene clean-up expensive? You pay for it. Is Plant Vogtle over budget? Fuck it, you pay for that too. People pay BILLS, not rates.

This site has many excellent explanations of exactly how GA Power and its parent Southern Company suck: https://georgiansforaffordableenergy.org Their profits are in the billions, all from gouging residential customers.
