1) Felon Musk's super-computer AI complex for Colossus is poisoning the air in Tennessee.
2) And Floridians are going to be hit with a monumental increase in their utility bills in 30 days.
"The Ron DeSatan-appointed Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) approved a highly contentious $7 billion rate hike for Florida Power & Light (FPL) customers. It is the largest rate hike in US history. With today's approval, 12 million Floridians will pay, on average, over $14/month more come January 2026. Next year, FPL customers will pay an additional $175/annually in energy, fuel, and taxes, and by January 2028 bills will be $289 more annually."
Don't ask how much the oligarch sitting in his comfy sinecure at FPL makes in one year.
