and neither does anyone else.

My gas heating bill was IDENTICAL for both houses this month.

Identical to the last cent.

Another example of the bullshit one has to put up with in this ****ed up country.

Have you ever tried talking to the people who bill your utilities? It's an experience, and one that does not lead to satisfaction.

Rant over.

Another short thread but I thought it was interesting since we have seen so many of those at the DUmp who claim to be homeless.

2. I don't like to rent to others
   
too much crap to put up with.

Still. It doesn't change what I said in the initial post. An identical bill for two houses. One that someone lives in and one that no one lives in.

Ugghhh maybe the one he isn't living in is in some dire need of  updating, ya think  :shortbus: There's something wrong with that, not with the utility company.

Then the other poster offers up a very viable solution, to which he smacks down  :whatever: Gee, if he rented his property out, that would take away his bitching rights.

Here's a clue dumbass, SELL that other property and make a <gasp> PROFIT! That's the beauty of this "fvcked up country", you can make a profit!

DUmmie calls it a "gas heating bill".  Does gas really care if someone is living in the area being heated?  Is it suppose to cost less to bring an empty room up to 68 degrees?  

Come to think of it, the DUmmie is probably breaking the DUmps most sacred institution, the Rule of Law, by growing marijuana in the empty house.  That takes heat.

This is almost too stupid to believe.
No where is it asked if the unlived in house is being fully heated or is it suggested that they turn the thremostat down to just above freezing

Does this person think it should somehow matter if a person lives there to heat an area to the same temp.


To go along with that a certain amount of every utility bill is taxes and state surcharges which do not change regardless of consumption.

They should be happy liberals to contribute their fair share seeing how they are wealthy enough to own two houses.  :lmao:

What struck me is he did not tell us if they are equal in size, if the heater is set to a similar temperature, if they are similar in age and insulation, etc. I think if most things are similar then it probably is that one bill was estimated and one was not. It really isn't a pain to get it changed. They did that to me a month ago and they just asked me to go and get the correct reading and I did. I assume the DUmmy has neighbors there if it is a ways off who can get that reading for him.  :loser:

Oh, but you're thinking with a fertile imagination, madam.

All in lesss time than the rant. Go to the meter, read the meter, then compare the meter reading to the billing statement. If incorrect the gas company will adjust. I've done it.

Some of these people really are too stupid to be alive.  If we had their beloved Darwinism, they would not be.

I thought the statement made about "too much crap" to renting was very telling.  Here they have several admitted 'homeless' folks on their board and endless ranting about landlords and such yet this person has a home sitting empty .... oh the I ronny .... It burns us.

I haven't figured it out yet ... maybe someone with a mole can 'splain it to me but it appears from reading the thread at the DUmp that maybe the original poster has been TS'd .....  I don't know why.
