My internet was out all day so I watched local news for the first time in months. Found out that the orange hitler is
using one of his many emergency orders keeping a massive coal electric plant open here because "we need the electricity" even though it was slated to shut down this month after he pulled this crap in May. Our electric company quickly came out with a statement saying that they not only don't need or want this plant to stay open but its going to increase our electric bills. Now, this is happening all over the country I'm sure and the orange asshole is not only destroying our environment but also driving up our cost of living. tRump is as stupid and evil as the idiots who voted for him.
Found a article and it looks like our pain will be spread through a few other states : Consumers Energy's costs of running the plant will be added as a surcharge to customers' bills in Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, most of Indiana, and portions of four other states.

Paying higher prices and having more health issues with a decaying health-care system is MAGA's way of ensuring the Great American Comeback!
