One of the side effects of the mortgage crisis and rising gasoline prices is that more people are having their utilities cut off. In some states, electric and gas companies report that cutoffs for non-payment are up by 15%. Makes sense, actually. If you can't make your house payment, what's the point of keeping the electricity on?
The good news, however, is that according to John McCain's chief economic adviser, the disintegrating economic conditions we see around us are just in our heads, and we're all just a bunch of whiners.
Thanks. Now I feel much better sitting here in the dark.
