I will send a strongly worded letter to the random website from which I copied and pasted this.

My country has rules and regulations to prevent this. The averages are pretty accurate. Our government also requires electricity companies to offer an easy way for customers to see how much energy they have used and how close it is to the estimated average.

Anyways, we also have variable contracts where you pay monthly for the energy you have used depending on your use and the price of energy on the market. For this we can simply use payment mandates that are easy to setup between yourself, the bank and the company. Keep in mind our companies are not capitalistic overlords and don’t try to steal our money using this, so it’s pretty safe and easy.

Yep exactly. It works pretty nice here. Except for a power crisis we had a few years ago, where they had to change stuff of contracts around because the price went up by almost 300%

Yeah, the whole of the EU knows Hungary is our corrupt little member.

This might make some far right wingers realize that fascism is only good for the powerful and wealthy.

The power companies in my country use a monthly average of the yearly costs. You’ll always pay the same.

In my country we have free ‘autopay’ on the banks end. You simply setup the details of the recurring transaction in your mobile app or on the website and it will automatically start paying.

Seems like you should say “fuck modern capitalism” instead.

I can see black hat abuse and selling these leaked email addresses being much more lucrative tbh.

Hey that’s the free market.

Or not.

Holy shit this woman can’t even eat with her mouth closed.

I think Russia is well aware that if they go to war with the EU, China will backdoor them hard.

It’s an invasion of privacy. But also doesn’t mean it’s not a benefit to it.

Authoritarianism is easily justified. Yet never a good solution.

This might actually be a good thing.

If Trump fires everybody, and everybody sues him in different lawsuits, he’ll be busy in courts for 4 years.

We can hope!

It says “This store is unavailable” which means it’s probably not a DNS or webserver block and still uses the shop software to serve the page. So it’s most likely a Shopify block.

Nice banalization.

It would look more like putting a camera in your toilet because “one should be scared of poop diseases”, but then add your toilet cam to a database that every doctor can use to find toilet cams.

That thumbnail though, lmao.

It’s optional yes. But they manipulate you with the default scare tactics into registering.

What a joke of a man.

Yes, there’s always some sort of justification towards authoritarianism. The real solution is to fix underlying issues instead. For example, if there is a lot of theft, your social safety net has failed. Punishing people because they react to a problem without fixing the problem is how surveillance- and police states come to be.

We should therefor not fall into spy cameras following our every move. We have to fight them now while they are not too normalized yet. Otherwise, even if underlying problems are fixed, they will still be there, and might get used for far more sinister reasons.

Some good things to understand are the Boiling Frog Syndrome and Ratchet Effect.
