My electric bill has doubled from what it was last year
0:09
When I called Florida Power and Light, the lady that I spoke with, which, of course, I don't know who
0:18
but she told me I had to unplug all of my appliances
0:25
Now, my issue is that Florida Power and Light, okay, To me, it's like extortion
0:34
They've raised my elected bill and are encouraging and promoting me to buy a product from China
0:43
It is only manufactured in China, and that is solar panels. Okay
0:50
By saying that, you know, they had, okay, at no cost to you, the government has approved
0:56
Well, that's not true. Okay. The, it is a cost to me, one, because I'm on, I'm on disability, Social Security, and I do not file taxes because I don't make enough for file taxes
1:14
And that's the only way to get the, to qualify, is to be able to file taxes
1:21
Other than that, only the rich people qualify. Now, I don't know why anyone would want to be anchored down to China
1:29
to be able to provide in the product because there are no absolutely zero manufacturers here in the United States manufacture solar panels And they tell you that they do and that not correct either That a lie
1:48
Okay? When I say that's a lie, they buy the equipment or the plants from China
1:54
and assemble it over here. That doesn't mean that it's manufactured here
1:59
It's still manufactured in China. There is damage, of course, done to the roof
2:03
when they install these things. Now, to me, what Florida Power and Light is trying to do is to charge me to do their work, is what it amounts to
2:21
They've been manufacturing electricity since how many of the years. Now they want me to manufacture the electricity for them
2:30
They have to buy it to pay for it, see, and that's not right. So to influence me to pay for, they raised my electric bill
2:38
They doubled my electric bill. Last year, my electric bill was never over $100
2:46
This year, the one I paid just the other day was $2,8
2:50
I'm the only one that lends here. Now, I understand the prices of things go up, but have they go up that much? No
2:58
So they... But they're raising the electric bills. to influence you to buy a product that they are promoted
3:08
And they say that they're not promoting it. Well, it's on their website. And they say, well, that's a vendor
3:14
Well, if it's on your website, you've approved them, in my opinion
3:19
And then of course for them to turn around and to tell me that I need to unplug all by appliances that fertilizer and I cleaned that up a lot Does that mean okay if I want to for appliances or on a watch TV I have to plug it in first
3:34
and then hit the power button. If I want to use my blender, I have to, you know, plug it in and then turn it on
3:42
If I want to use my microwave, I have to plug it in and then turn it up, you know
3:46
it's just, it's stuff that, it's so ridiculous. And it's like, okay, every time you turn around today, today I've got a letter from them wanting me to buy an insurance package
4:02
And so let me know that what runs from the pole to my house is my responsibility
4:11
Well, I don't know when that's right or wrong, but there are true or false
4:16
if it's my responsibility and they want $10 a month for that
4:22
who paid for when they connected it? You know? Yeah, I don't know
4:27
It's pretty frustrating. It just doesn't make any sense. I, you know, if I were to turn that around and say
4:35
hey, I want a car, but I want them to pay for it, how am I going to get them to do that
4:41
You know, they want me to pay for them to do. make their electricity and to pay them for it
4:50
And they want me to commit to the China, to turn my life over to the CCP for something that
4:59
if it was manufactured here in the United States, I feel a little bit warmer about it but not much but I certainly don want to commit to China And I certainly don want to commit to having my electric bill doubled so that I can
5:15
to influence me or to, to me, to me, it's stronger on me
5:21
It's strong of him. You know, the mafioso used to do that
5:25
They, like, okay, you give me some money and I'll protect your business
5:29
and that's what that's the way I look at that the FPNL is saying
5:35
give me some money and you know you'll get more rates I'm on disability I'm on Social Security
5:43
I make less than what a person makes on welfare and yet
5:49
they get an increase and I don't okay so I'm just simply
5:53
wanting to to be able to Look, I've had five heart attacks, and now I've got stage four non-alcoholic fibrosis in the liver
6:07
So I haven't got much longer anyway. But I just want to, you know, to pay it a normal electric bill that isn't doubled from what it was last year
6:21
Because I've not doubled my usage from last year. You know, mine is exactly the same
6:27
You know, the price of things go up. You know, I certainly understand that
6:31
I worked in retail for a number of years. And, you know, the cost of living goes up for many things
6:38
but my cost of living hasn't gone up to take care of their electrical or to take care of my electrical
