IMPROVED!!!
Our utilities being owned by foreign companies is problem Missouri American Water and Liberty power and gas are Canadian owned
I'm going to tell you right now if our electric goes up any more than it already has we're not going to be able to pay our utilities they gal just now as it is my electric bill went up $100 a month when they took over that is crazy I can't keep doing it somebody has to step in and put them back in check put them under control because this is ridiculous. I can't afford a higher electric bill so somebody needs to speak up for the little people money hungry companies it's ridiculous.
Go Canada! Elbows up! Petal to the metal if donald wants to play tariff games.
I guessing we have the highest rates in the state now. I want to say a sarcastic thank you to Empire’s management team who left as millionaires and moved out of Liberty’s area. You screwed us all.
I just retired to take care of my mother that is in bad health and I'm on a fixed income and their rates are going up faster than anybody's paychecks I don't know how they're going to expect anybody to pay it if they keep raising it this fast please step in and stop it vote no on they're raises they get raises once or twice a year not sure why our electricity is coming from Canada anyway seems like they're just retaliating for being investigated on their billing
It seems awful funny they want to jump this after being investigated for double billing and everything right now people are struggling trying to pay their bills now so vote no against their raises don't know why Canada owns it anyway
Donald Trump he's our man, if donny can't fix it no one can!
Thanks, Jill Carter!
Thank the Libs that’s who drive up the cost of energy with their subsidies for windmills ev mandates etc. it’s been proven over and over they don’t work fiscally but if the are proped up by the government we can cook the books a little
Dear President Trump, you're an outstanding, albeit, bankruptcy prone businessman. Your tariffs are really kicking those meany countries aren't they? Thanks for really caring about America! And thank you for eliminating all the unworthy jobs including mine! My family needed a dash of more hardship anyway to become more resilient. All I ask is that you restore funding to food banks so my kids can eat and forgiveness of my mortgage so we don't go homeless because I can't make my payments any longer. Thanks again for being so lovingly concerned for me, my wife and children! No doubt about it. You're the chosen one America really needs!
Sounds like you might currently be a little cooked yourself 709.
He's at least half baked.
Anyone who thinks this current crew cares anything for the common person...probaably graduated from Trump University!
The orange peel is over his head. Canada and mexico are all in on punishing the USA with reciprocal tariffs because Donald is being a jackass thinking he's putin. Get ready to pay more because of trumps ignorant decisions and fragile ego as he'll blame biden,obama,clinton, hoover, and anyone else to gaslight the deplorables who follow and pledge alliegence to him.
Yes, What we need to do is STOP Letting - Key Vital American Companies and Utility Companies and Other Services - being Sold to Foreign Entities - Did we Not learn anything when we let and forced all the American Companies to send Manufacturing, Including Jobs - Off Shore???
