California Electric Bills Will Be Based On How Much You Earn
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”
By Daniel Greenfield

Following the words of Karl Marx, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”, California’s corrupt power monopolies are going full Commie.

Three major utility companies in California are looking to restructure customer billing, and part of that means customers could be charged based on how much money they make.

Sure, why not? Charging people based on what they use, rather than the tier they occupy in the social justice human pyramid is too capitalist anyway.

Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric filed a joint proposal this week for a flat-rate charge based on income.

The income-based bill proposal is part of the companies’ compliance with legislation passed by the California state government last year requiring these types of plans for utilities.

What’s next, a proposal for supermarkets that can charge you based on your income for bread and eggs? Also, Best Buy should charge you for a new phone based on your earnings. Airline tickets? There can be three tiers based on earnings.

Not that it matters how much California utilities charge for power that they can’t deliver anyway to people fleeing the state as fast as they can.

If you like your Communism, you can keep your Communism.

Another piece of personal information given to the world!

Here is additional information including cost.

Im glad I moved out of my home state a few decades ago. Beautiful state, but crazy state leadership the citizens keep voting in.

Sooooo, Bill and Elon get stuck paying everyone else's utilities.....

That will fly about as far as Musk's latest rocket.

And even if it sounds good, wait till you read the fine print...

Didn't Musk relocate to Texas? Gates is a resident of Washington or Oregon. I forget where he built his compound.

 

[Wally]

Just picking on the very rich regardless of where they live, I imagine they have plenty of California business connections.

 

[Tall Timbers]

One of my younger brothers lives in California and is wealthy. I think he's conservative minded but is married to an extreme libertard. He would like to leave the state but that's where his empire is located and it's business that requires his presence. He's the kind of person who won't ever want to retire so I guess he'll be stuck paying other's utilities. Seems like this sort of thing should be unconstitutional, but I guess it wouldn't matter if it was, given the nature of our illegitimate govmints ruling over the people without any regards for the law of the land.

You'd pay the highest fee at $180K of income. That's barely middle class for most of California. I wonder if that's household income v.s. individual. It seems dual income families would mostly be paying the highest amount.

 

[Wally]

Do the math.

You can usually guess who subsidizes who.

Not that it matters, but out of curiosity I looked up the median household California income, and as of 2021 it is 84k

15 percent of CA households make over 200k.

Regardless of income, basing energy bills off income is simply WRONG.

 

[pixelpusher]

Once you open that door to charging based on income, where does that stop? Do 6 figure earners pay $25 for a McDouble so the less motivated at the bottom of the chain can eat for free? I guess that is "equity".

 

[Wally]

Functional communism....

If they won't vote for it, legislate the machine until they can't tell the difference...


Nothing like the elite endeavors to widen the class gap by eliminating the bourgeoisie

 

[mphsmom]

This would be good for us because of how little we make each year, but even I know this is insanely wrong.

Just suppose no one works or earns any money in California. They continue using the electric grid and who's going to pay for that? Sure I'm glad I moved from California to Florida.

How long until California simply ceases to function as a viable state? It's like literally every decision made by anyone with any authority is designed to make anyone who is not a homeless drug addict, mentally ill or illegal immigrant up and move out.

They really will have a society like a banana republic with a few super wealthy people and the desperately poor.

The wealthy will move out of California. California will add tens of thousands of Electric Vehicles what could possibly go wrong ?

I grew up in N. CA and it was a beautiful place to live! An hour to the mountains, less than that for the beach. Now, it’s overgrown with fruits and nuts and governed by a very evil man. So glad we got out when we did!

So much for any real day-to-day incentive to conserve energy

Wages are going to have to drop while cost of living increases because the businesses and corporations are going to be paying an awful lot (more) for electricity

Bet welfare and food stamp benefits don't go down (and probably increase)

Of course, Kommiefornia will be demanding Federal money (collected from the taxpayers in the other 49 states and DC) to get bailed out

When will Kommiefornia erect toll plazas on all eastbound, northbound, and southbound roads to tax residents fleeing the state (exit tax like some countries do)?

Please don't give them any new tax ideas. You'll be directly to blame if kommiefornia starts doing this tomorrow...

When I moved and bought my new house in 2016, I had the option for solar panels to be installed at no cost.
I'm on a lease plan. Whatever electricity I don't use is transferred to SoCalEdison and my account gets credited.
I pay $114 per month on my lease, and a monthly service charge of about $5 to Edison. Right now, I am sitting with
a credit balance of $175 with Edison. My neighbors who do not have the solar are paying upwards of $600 a month
during the summer when they are running their A/C twenty-four/seven. (It's HOT here in the summer). Now that prices
are going up for electricity, I'm praying it won't affect me financially too much.........we'll see.
