They just announced that they're raising water and sewage in my area by 300% by the end of the year. No reason given, just because they can. It should be fucking illegal. They're also planning on putting in a few data centers, which are currently being hotly contested, because they're supposed to make everyone's electric bill go up about 300% as well. I'm terrified as to how I'm going to afford my electric bill. Water and sewage is included in my rent, I can't wait to see how much that increases when my lease is up this winter and I also have no idea how I'll afford it, but I also don't know if I could find anywhere to move that would be cheaper and not give me a commute that negates any savings.
