Must be nice being able to pass the buck on to your customers. I wonder if Duke is double dipping. I'm sure they are required to have insurance. Why isn't this covered in their policies? Why don't they budget for emergencies/crises?

She lost all of her perishables and it was in the middle of the month. Before she could get assistance, we helped her out which I didn't mind for she didn't ask. Because Duke is a huge company they are able to pass their loss off to their customers. Why are we responsible for their loss? It was God who allowed the storm. The world is always ready to help the powerful not the weak. | | 1/20/2009 3:46:39 PM | Mark | | Well, $31 million divided by 690K is only $45 to each customer. It would almost be easier to just add the $45 to my bill then to let them add a monthly rider that will ride the bill forever and probably end up costing me a lot more than $45. It seems the Duke bill is becoming more complex than an AT&T phone bill. Needling for every dime. I believe this should be covered in any insurance they carry. I'd like to know who the judge is that ruled for them so when he/she is up for re-election, the people would remember them so kindly. One nation, under god, for the corporation, to crush the people and to carry it out legally because we bought the politicians. Got to love America, while it lasts. |
