power to the people

spare a thought for the nu zeelund power company parasites people. they seem to be finding it difficult to make a living. it seems that the average kiwi has chosen to be too poor to heat their homes to the required degree. this is having an effect on the various company "ceo's" ability, to live in the manner to which they have become accustomed. power charges for the average family are up around $400-$600 a month, and said families, have the cheek to complain! for some reason, kiwis are under the illusion that they should be able to pay mortgages, drive cars, school kids, clothe families, visit doctors, entertain themselves, enrol kids in sport and eat food, as well as keep warm in the winter. as for the elderly, what do they think they are doing? trying to stay alive. the cheek of it all. check this out.
i can only feel sympathy for those poor power company officials who are doing their level best to take advantage of the lower socio-economic strata of kiwiland. kia kaha [be strong] you'll get those ugly poor people yet. especially with the help you get from the gas companies and the govt.
as a matter of interest. our last power payment was $485 for the month.
no extravagance. just keeping warm. we use power saving lights and try to be conservative about our power use.
