Oh, it's OK.

She doesn't have to pay it.

....which is ever so nice of them.  I expect she might have had to work late a few nights a week to cover it.....

Teenagers and their all night texting.

GOOD GWAVY TWAIN! Is she on a time payment plan? Might take a few million years to pay it off.

He'd only have to wait 'til she was too weak from malnourishment....

.... well, she's not going to get any eating done with all that yakking going on, is she!

He is probably resigned to it.

Don't speak to me about gas and electric bills.  We are using less and less each quarter, yet the bills keep going up and up.  And what really shits me is that the CEO of my electricity provider just took a 1.5 million dollar pay increase, taking his annual salary, with share options and bonuses to $8.7 million... and he is only one of dozens at the company who took a huge pay increase this year.  This is not the reason we are being told electricity prices are rising, however. 

The reason we are being told electricity prices are going up is to put up new infrastructure to cope with increasing demand, yet all I'm seeing going up lately is bills and executive pay levels, and at alarming rates at that.  And what's this bullshit about increasing demand?  Everybody I know is using much less electricity than in the previous quarters, and in some cases by rather substantial amounts, so WhereTF is this increasing demand coming from, as usage shrinks and bills keep rising considerably?

You misread some of that, the 54 trillion was mentioned as a reference to the total GDP of the world, the amount owed worked out to much, much more than that.

And the number one opponent to the Carbon Tax took.....how much was it last year? .....oh, that's right....something around 36 BILLION....

Just to put that into perspective.....40 hour week..... 50 weeks a year....THREE POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS per HOUR.

....if you're still lost....that's a $1000 per second.
