about 1 in 6 American homes—that have fallen behind on their utility bills. It is, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (Neada), the worst crisis the group has ever documented. Underpinning those numbers is a blistering surge in electricity prices, propelled by the soaring cost of natural gas.

One in Six U.S. Homes are behind on their utility payments:

This is something that I believe should be a key issue this coming November that isn’t discussed at all by either political party and that is twenty million people could face cutoffs of their utilities because they are unable to pay their bill. We bicker over mundane nonsense like Trump and...

The landscape could look very interesting going forward, if even half of these folks lose their power. Fortunately for them, we are creeping into the mild autumn weather. But winter is coming. And if these folks don’t find a way to unfuck themselves; they, and their communities could be facing some serious problems…

Living without public utilities is very doable. While not the norm for most of us; humans lived without them for most of humanities existence. But a problem I see spinning off from this issue… Is that even renters who are savvy, and can navigate the work arounds, will likely get evicted for not maintaining public utilities. You see this often with apartment dwellers. So for a lot of these folks this is a double threat…

All of these big corporate lib run company's are going to be very sorry they laid into Trump and helped get him out of office when they figure out no one can afford what they are selling....

Fall is nearly here. Some of the trees here are already changing color, and dropping leaves. With the moderate weather fall brings, many on the cusp will likely be able to throttle back on their power usage, and maybe get squared away before they need to start using the heat.

People!!!.... you are being ungrateful!!!

We can't afford to help these people with $billions going to enrich a puppet leader... er I mean.. fund a proxy war.
And we are going to bailout millions of kids student loans... who didn't have any problem paying the loan.
But we are going to pay them off anyway.

C'mon!! - we have no time for real people

Next to hit us are food shortages... we are already seeing it....

AND

Next to hit us are food shortages... we are already seeing it....

And it will get significantly worse in the year ahead. The majority of grains we consume now, were produced last year. And this year's production of said grains is way down due to a number of problems like drought, and fertilizer shortages.

I did it for three months out of the year for a few years as a young man but city dwellers don't have a woodstove and a forest to avail themselves of.

I used 1800s style gas (propane) for cooking/lighting but I doubt half of them can afford to fill-up a 200# bottle right now.

I just used a old Dietz oil lantern to go to the outhouse.....It served.

The rural folks around the country will likely just soldier on if they own their land. But if they are renters, or worse apartment dwellers they may be well, and truly fucked.
