You are more likely to be pulled over with a thin blue line sticker in your window than without. Now consider what you're thinking about doing, and you're not a cop. Yeah...bad idea dude....it looks like you're running drugs or something...got tied up women in the back...you get my point.

You misspelled N-E-W. It's not F-O-U-N-D Cat, it's N-E-W Cat.

Someone's on their way to the Vet for a check-up! Merry Christmas kitty!

Its because its not talked about in CA from a political point of view. I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I'm a transplant. I was born and raised there, I still have family there, a whole bunch of friends, there. So, incase youre wondering, in a 2ksqft home in Solano County, you're going to average $500 a month for electricity, and thats only if you have solar. Why so high? Because you get what amounts to a fine that goes directly to PG&E because youre not using all of their electricity.

Please be aware that if your bill is ~$500, about $280 is what youre still paying for power because the solar is definitely not keeping up with the AC on 110 degree days.

But thanks for mentioning my phrasing. Are you also from CA? Care to share stories?,

Im actually just concerned with not freezing to death, and not having to make choices between freezing and eating on a daily basis. But being afraid of that is worth some downvotes I guess.

I was hoping the competition would lower prices.

North or Worcester east of 190. Think Phillipston. Thats about where your price range is going to take you.

Yes, and thats if your credit is over 800.

In CA you pay a surcharge that goes directly to PG&E cuz you're not usign their power. Its not talked about.

I was told that the cause of this was ultimately due to the growing pains of moving our society from fossil fuels to green energy.

Growing pains is a nice way to phrase Crippling Energy Prices.

But hey, as long as we're getting those Windmill Farms up and running off the coast and bulldozing forests for Solar Farms, I assume we'll get there. Well some people will, I'll be living under an overpass.

Go to BJs or Costco, show up with a massive cake, every kid gets a 1 sqft. piece!

The real and honest answer is because repairs are done cheaply. Asphalt taken up and replaced with 4" of new asphalt in this climate guarantees a relatively short lifespan. Thus, they really can't keep up with the repairs.

If you want to really improve things, you need to replace the road with 6-8" of asphalt. But you're significantly increasing the cost of road repairs and given that most of the budgets for this stuff is planned years and advance, those same budgets are eaten up by inflation (rising prices of equipment, consumables, etc.) and those accounts are dipped into for other things.

Want to truly fix it, increase taxes, increase thickness (THE THICKKKKNEESSSS!!), and get rid of the whole "Only police can flag wave" BS argument. Until then, put monies aside for new struts.
