No shortage of Reddit posts on inexplicably high ConEd bills. This isn't inflation, this is suspect. I had once emailed my landlord about my high ConEd bills in 2022 and he replied it was inflation. Inflation increases prices, but not by 300% as my own utility bills increased. People are living in poverty, parents can't feed their kids, the elderly are choosing between paying for RX or electricity, credit scores have plummeted as my own has gone from 700-something to 600-something. Because of utility bills, an essential service that has suddenly become unaffordable even while working full-time. In a capitalist society! How can I afford my monthly internet and phone service but not what powers them on?! Absurdly twisted logic.
