Power to choose is basically the opposite of transparency. It’s better recently but before yeah a lot of plans had a bunch of nonsense that would gently caress you if you didn’t hit certain numbers of usage. So the rate you saw was not going to happen over the life of the contract. It’s easier to switch plans at least. It’s pretty hosed to lower your rate if you used more electricity too.

I've been looking at the 150ish plans available to me and saying no to ones with fees for low usage and a base cost, but haven't seen any that mention bill credits. Is that kind of thing in the fact sheet, or do I need to search the terms of service too? e: oh. I had ticked "Plans without a minimum usage fee/credit and plans without tiered pricing". I see now. I now have 213 plans offered!  e2: some of these plans seem like they're designed for gamblers or work based wholly on government subsidies or something. a $95 credit if you use over 1,000 kWh? what's the grift there? wolfs fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Oct 13, 2020 |

Same, doing the drive through voting with my wife because we have a one month old and there was about 25-30 cars ahead of me and it took about 10 minutes or so of waiting. I'm happy to see the number of uncontested Dem judges in the county getting auto reelected.

I realllllly don't understand showing up at the inevitable line of olds on d-day h-hour of early voting in a normal election, let alone in the midst of rona times. If right now is the only time you can make for it then go but otherwise, for gently caress's sake, go another time in the next three weeks.

I get deciding to vote on Day One because you're excited and fine with the long line experience. I'm more annoyed by the folks taking it as evidence of voter suppression. Long lines can be reflective of voter suppression, and I'm more than happy to talk about voter suppression, but folks flooding in on day one of early voting and having a wait is not voter suppression when you have two more weeks and Election Day. Travis County also has county-wide voting, so you're not restricted to a single polling location. We have a map of wait times at each location. If you don't have issues with transportation or time to get to another poll, then it's ridiculous to go to the busiest possible location and then complain about the long lines. I once heard from an election judge that their location was mostly empty on election day, but the nearby grocery store had a two hour wait.

That's lovely as hell. Sure Hegar is problematic and less-than-ideal, but Cornyn is like one of the top 5 worst senators out there and even at a relative longshot to unseat him it's really stupid to not vote for Hegar or actively campaign against her in this race.

What he's doing is ensuring he's a kingmaker for the next Democratic statewide effort. It's more important to him to be able to point to this race and say "She lost because she didn't kiss my ring" than to replace John Cornyn. It's the same thing the RGV political elites did to Beto. Way more than the GOP, Democrats care far, far more about their standing in their own party than electoral results.

When someone holds a gun to your head and says "you can choose between getting punched in the face and being shot in the head", saying nothing isn't the smart move. Just because you don't choose doesn't mean no choice will be made.

It might be paranoid, but because I don't live in a blue county I don't entirely trust the polling places to be open and unchanged for the entire early voting period. I know they're open and available today though.
