Not

2. Greedy bastards! Just read where one woman's bank act was overdrafted after she was hit

with a $1500 bill. The financial fall out from this will be another devastation.
These companies should eat this. I also don't believe federal funds should go to paying these bills.

3. One reason to be cautious about auto-pay

It might be nice to not have to worry about paying a bill late because you forget, but if a bill comes along that you should dispute, and it's paid before you get a chance to dispute it... not so good.

4. Class Action Lawsuit

The energy companies are explicitly responsible for this mess.

A nearly $1700 bill for one month is greed and robbery. And they are responsible for not winterizing.

I would sue......yesterday!!!

5. CPS says they're gonna get help.from the feds

They are a city owned company.

They had to purchase power at hyper-inflated rates.

Very tone deaf tweet..
They also talked about bonds to pay it off.

7. Taxpayers will pay companies.

This will be garbage. Let them eat the costs of their own mistakes.
