For anyone in Providence, they're moving to an aggregate electric supply situation. The rates for April to September, under that program, are:

if you stick with RI Energy, the rate is is 9.71 ¢/kWh

"Providence Basic:" 9.151 ¢/kWh

"Providence Standard (automatic)": 9.361 ¢/kWh

"Providence 50": 10.222 ¢/kWh

"Providence 100": 12.321 ¢/kWh

>Goes well this Providence moving forward with an electric supply aggregation program that opts people in and has a lower base rate than RI Energy.

Sorry: what?

It’s called rent abatement and you fall within the rights to withhold rent or pay to have those things addressed and take it out of the rent. Be prepared though, I’ve been in court for 5 years with old landlords with no end in sight. Wish you the best of luck

There’s that southern hospitality. So fucked up

Content and character of parades lolololol. I’m done. Funniest and dumbest shit I’ll read all day.

Bruh! All parades are different i.e. the NY tank giving day parade is famous for the baloons, the rose bowl parade is famous for having all the floats made of flowers, Mardi Gras parades are famous for the second line and Indians etc. You can’t really know about the content and character of parades unless they’re famously documented or you’ve been. For all I know any local St. paddy’s day parade is just some local cub scouts walking downtown he street. Boring. The only one I’m even familiar with hear about is the one in southie because of controversies

Precious moment when the cops scoff at her saying “I’m going to die” and all agreeing it’s an act right before she loses consciousness and dies. Obviously the hospital showed the same level of callousness to get her arrested in the first place when it’s obvious to anyone she was in medical distress.

I have no clue what you’re talking about. They’re parades. How much more do you need to know? You’re not writing your doctoral dissertation on them.

If you are not familiar with the "Landlord tenet handbook" it's free online and outline your rights and options in some cases.

Goes well this Providence moving forward with an electric supply aggregation program that opts people in and has a lower base rate than RI Energy.

This seems like an exceptionally grim story. A woman, with a history of stroke, goes to an ER for care. She’s given the bare minimum to get her back on the street. She feels the care was inadequate so she advocated for herself. Instead of calling a social worker, the hospital calls the cops. Everyone ignores her claim that she can’t breathe. She has another stroke in the police cruiser. This is fucked up.

For anyone that was curious, the first column is the residential rate, so 10.675 cents per kWh

Tennessee, Florida and Texas are all competing for most deplorable people.

Like is it back breaking work. Like really heavy lifting and maneuvering heavy things all day. Pretty much like them jobs when u get out of work. It takes everything u have in you to take a shower. I’m possibly thinking of a career change. I’m 40 I’m definitely not trying to get into something like that. I

I would usually agree with you but as she died from a stroke that was being ignored by “medical professionals “ I have my doubts. She was failed to an extraordinary degree.

This is what happens when the system is working as intended.

Hospitals exist to generate profit for shareholders. This woman would not be profitable to continue to treat, so kick her out and call the cops. The cops exist to protect and serve capital interests, not human lives and safety.

Nothing will change, this is exactly how everything is intended to work. It's really depressing, and I wish I knew how to help change it within our system but I really don't see that as being a reality. It's becoming increasingly harder for people to cope with this (myself included).

I grew up in Tennessee and am constantly disgusted with how the state is changing. The KKK was always there, but good people used to keep them in the shadows. Now, it seems Tennessee is trying to be the Reddest state in the country.

>Upon further reading, it sounds like she was 'treated' to the extent of their legal obligation and discharged against her will.

Given that she died of a second stroke shortly after discharge, perhaps that legal obligation needs to be reevaluated. She apparently knew better than the medical professionals what she was talking about.

You didn't know? The cops DO protect and serve. The wealthy.

Yep. I have been through small claims with a landlord before (because of course I have lol). The more documentation the better. 10/10 do recommend. I didn’t have an attorney, just my emails, messages, photos. This was for a landlord who kept 3k in deposits to renovate the place when we moved out to prepare it for sale lol we got some back, but not everything. Filing fees were minimal. Might not be a bad idea to start that process, actually. Would be even more apparent if the landlord tried to do anything retaliatory after that.

Woonsocket has some ahady landlords was curious

I mean you do you, if you like it I won’t sway you away from supporting tourism in my town

Replace just one of those cops in the video with a social worker and this would have ended differently.

Upon further reading, it sounds like she was 'treated' to the extent of their legal obligation and discharged against her will. Everyone thought she was being dramatic and the police were called to remove her.

Just seen as another 'dumb nuisance patient' who doesn't know what they're talking about, I guess.
