Every winter there seems to be some sad story about some poor old lady who can’t afford to pay for her electric/gas bill and has her lights and heat disconnected for non-payment.  A couple of nights ago, they had such a story on the news and the representative for the utility company had the gall to say something like, “We’re always willing to help the elderly and people who can’t pay their bills they just need to call us and let us know a month before hand.”

How exactly are people who live paycheck to paycheck or on social security supposed to schedule their poverty around the  utilities schedule?   How are the elderly, who often can barely remember to take their medication, suppose to remember to call their utility a month in advance to let them know they won’t have the money to pay the bill?

I don’t think people should receive a free ride but a little more sympathy would be a little nice -especially around the holidays!
