The effort got a boost last week from a top Federal Trade Commission official, who sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis urging the state to target so-called “junk fees.”
This shit is precisely why I chose homelessness. Fees upon fees, including, I shit you not, a fee for compiling all the fees and then another one for mailing it out, which exceeded printing and mailing costs and wasn’t optional.
You can only push people so far. And now that no one feels they have job security and many are opting not to have kids, further destabilizing housing is not going to have the effect our keepers want.
Actually, I’m going to continue. Because of base fees for electricity, I was paying $3/kWh. There’s not a decimal missing, nor is there an incorrect unit. Natural gas was an additional $30/month for my first therm.
Add it all up, and the rack rate of $1,150 meant $1,500 before I used anything. Fine, if I’m making the inflation adjusted wages someone in my field with my level of experience would make, but that’s not fucking happening for anyone.
