Live in Seattle where they have postponed city electric utility payments starting in March and have extended it now until the end of year. So I didn't pay them because I didn't have to, and I hate those people anyway. There is already in place a city of Seattle regulation prohibiting the disconnection of utilities for non-payment during the winter months of November - March in any year.
So feasibly, I can now continue to not pay electricity until next March. How do they suppose to get an entire year of utility payments once March 2021 rolls around? I don't see how people will be able to come up with a year of back payments.
So what will they do then? I think they're going to write it off somehow and non-payers will be off the hook.
I'm riding this to the end to see what happens. (we are also planning to move out of state after the first of the year, come and get me baby.)
Thoughts on how this will shake out?
You fell for that? Don't fall for that. It pains to pay, but fuck yeah, pay, because I have a feeling that the people who didn't pay "because they don't have to" will be paying double down the line.
Lord knows, I've been bitten in the ass more than once by not doing "things I didn't have to do" but bloody well should have done, just as hard as the things I did that I shouldn't have.
They're making up the rules out of thin air as they go, I'm just complying. How long can these people keep the payment chain from imploding under their 'leadership'? We'll see.
