The "Vent Your Anger" Thread

[GreyOwl3.0]

How the #@%^ can the man in the street ie you and me' date=' afford a 31.3% increase in electricity !!

Of course there are special agreements with big businesses so that doesn't affect them. Also PD communities will only be getting a 15% odd increase.

Cuz 80% of the population dont pay for their electricity, therefore we have to make up for it.

Don't forget the funding of all the 50 % odd etc increases the strikes of the last month resulted as well

Well at least I get a 10% one next month - ours is in July. Sux though as I should be getting a 50% one to bring me in-line with minimal wages for my experience (ignoring the job offer I just saw that initiated my above rant)

Midrand - There are lies being told on the
electricity issue in South Africa and Eskom is discriminating on price and
pushing consumer electricity prices in South Africa into the top half of
charges worldwide, according to a leading economist on Friday.

Chief economist of Economists.co.za, Mike Sch?ssler, told the National
Consumer Forum in Midrand on Friday that Eskom sells electricity at cheaper
than cost to internationals, but consumer prices have quadrupled between 1996
and 2009.

"If you say you are not making money, but are giving a 34% increase to
people paying above costs, what are you doing to those you are selling to below
cost?" asked Sch?ssler rhetorically.

"It is not correct to say we have the cheapest electricity in the world -
rather tell us industry has the lowest prices in the world," he said.

Industry pays the second-lowest price for electricity after internationals
in South Africa, while residences are on top and paying well above cost.

"How can we export electricity at a price one-third of what consumers pay
and then ask for 34%?" questioned Sch?ssler.

Reckon the approach in the song "The Want Ad" on Pandora's Box (http://www.jimsteinman.com/pandoralyrics.htm) is a super way to vent anger

THE WANT AD

This is addressed to all the people who answered or may be thinking of answering the personal ad I placed in volume 2, number 15 of this newspaper two weeks ago friday.

First: my appologies to the huge bartender with the voice and the lighthearted dark-skinned advertising man. If either of you had called me back, I might not be writing this retraction of my ad even though I will soon be too busy to date much, but why didn't you call back???

But to the others... which include the two terrifying sisters, the under 18's and the over 60's, the numerous ones who dialed my number and hung up as soon as I said "hello", the 35 or 40 of you who made dates with me and never showed up...including the one who complained his body was so powerful he couldn't control it anymore, the desperate wife-seekers, the already married, the one was so one-sided that he could think of nothing but sex and then had the gall to ask me if his nationality was the reason I wouldn't sleep with him, the many who couldn't get it up when I was agreeable and the many who could and did when I was not, the pleasant young foreigner who turned out to be the property of his gigantic girlfriend, the ones who were so grotesque in their appearence that I couldn't possibly get by their faces to even consider a relationship with them, especially sexual... the sharks, the geeks, and the sadists, the latter category which I had specifically stated I didn't want, the ones who wanted endless dirty talk the ones who wanted to be punished, the ones who could only boast about the bank- rolls and/or their equipment, and this definitely includes the teacher who said: "All the kids want my stuff", the businessman had an adjective for every letter in his last name: "R is for rich", the ones and they were many who said: "my name is so and so, how far do you go", the 300 pound lady judge who screamed abuse at me, the transvestite who wanted me to support him, the numerous young studs who had nothing to offer besides the negative result of their goddamn blood tests, the diminutive actor and all the other short ones, the astronomer who cried like a baby and said he'd been betrayed by every star he ever knew, the fanatic priest who wanted me to confess to things I'd never even dreamed of, the worn out soldiers, the burned out poets,the pumped up jocks and the used up kids, the racists, including the one at whose place I left my white sweater and I'd rather cut off my right thumb go back for it... the drunks, junkies crack and cokeheads, the multitude of liars and especially the nice ones who never called back!

To all of you I say: JUST FORGET MY PHONE NUMBER. I DON'T NEED ALL THE HASSLES.

I'll be starting school next month and I just don't want to be bothered. Don't hold your breath, any of you.

Sincerely,
The underweight platinum blonde.

Have a nice day.

I'm also angry that everytime I want to get into bed, my cat is asleep, lying just below my pillow and I can't get in. I have to squeeze into a tiny space left over and not move the doona. It's very chilly.
