Hundreds of Americans Get Surprise Electric Bill After Trump Change

Source: newsweek

On February 4, Huntsville Utilities in Alabama sent some of its customers a letter alerting them that a grant they previously received was no longer valid. The grant was distributed by the Community Action Partnership of Huntsville/Madison & Limestone Counties.

In a photo of one such letter posted on Facebook, the utility company told its customer that the grant they had received "for $100 on January 23, 2025, is no longer valid due to President Trump's Executive Order to rescind the funding behind the grant."

The company alerted the customer that the $100 has been debited to their account and is due on their next invoice.

Even the 100 bucks for power sucked back out on a smaller scale to what musk did to NY.

Also a small landlord who had a section 8 renter that this months rent never showed up and is over 10 days late. This was a couple who had a few homes they had bought and fixed up to rent out. Call thought they could be doing this to drive small time rental owners out of business so big investors could buy up more properties. By the way the landlord was also on the hook for the power bill in addition to the rent.

Faces meet the leopards you elected.

Rest assured, mango Mussolini and apartheid Clyde will make certain that any pesky rules about not turning power off go away. They will likely allow exorbitant late fees.

I'll pass over that Mango and Clyde have no authority to do what they are doing, but 53.4 percent of people in the county voted for this...

just like gas and grocery prices.

Most Americans could care less about cuts to foreign aid or the federal civil serive or "government" in general, but when it hits their personal pocketbooks and affects their personal lives, look out.

Trump can keep trying to blame Biden, but Americans increasingly know about Musk and what Trump is having him do.
