NJ here. My utility bill shot WAY up, and my "this is what you used compared to last year" statement showed that my household used LESS than this time last year. I was averaging about $125 to $175 a month with a 1,700-sq-ft house, and 3 adults using water, gas, and electricity. MOST of my lighting elements are LED, and we have gas heat and hot water. Our gas and electric bill this month?? $325.00 This all seems like greedflation to me. PS...we keep our heat down to 64 to 65 during the day, and we allow ourselves the luxury of 67 degrees at night, only if its very cold out. Spoiler: It hasn't been that cold at night at all. We also all use heated blankets. This and the cost of groceries, and gas for our cars is killing the finances and dreams of most working families.

And those of us in Philly get to see the fallout on the streets and trains and neighborhoods. Either dead family or the junkies out and about, defecating in public, begging, stealing and honestly, an ENTIRE generation of people either died or are now heroin addicts..Sackler family, the doctors and all the pharmacists who enabled and cultivated this man-made drug problem should ALL be in jail. 3.5 years? No, he should be in for 35 years. Scumbag. I have worked in pharmacy as a tech, and I have seen many instances of real, ethical pharmacists tell someone with a fake or altered script to talk to the police or take a walk, while keeping their fake script.
