California Goes Full Communist: Utilities to Base What They Charge on How Much You Make

 California: 'How Much Is My Bill?' 'How Much Have You Got?' – PJ Media

Also, people will see that there is no point in working harder to try to earn more money, as the state will just confiscate it in various ways. Consequently, people will work less, and less hard. 

"The state of California is implementing full Marxism before our very eyes under the guise of “equity.” And so now there can be no possible doubt if there ever was for anyone: instituting Communism has been what “equity” initiatives have been about all along. Now three of its most powerful utility companies are saying that they’re going to charge based not on how much of their product was used, but on how much money the user makes.

"In simpler times, if you bought something, you paid for it. Rich or poor, tall or short, black or white, female or male, wise or foolish, everyone paid the same amount for a product. But in our more enlightened era, we know how unjust that really is. It deprives the poor of access to vital goods and services, and that injustice must be redressed.

"That’s what Communism is all about, at least in theory: leveling out economic differences between people by confiscating earnings from the rich and awarding them to those who have less. This is the fundamental reason why Marxism, despite its extraordinarily bloody historical record, still appeals to so many people, rich, poor, and in between: it appears to redress the injustices in life and provide everyone with a decent living.

"The problem with it arises from the fact that capitalism is inescapable. It is an iron law. It is not actually an economic system that can be discarded and replaced with a better one. It is simply the way human interactions work. If the California utility companies are going to make people who have more money pay more for the same goods and services they could get for less money if they had less, there will be several results: wealthier people will seek to hide their wealth through various means, so as to pay the lower rate. Some enterprising entrepreneurs will make a good living by helping them do this. So from the Marxism of the utility companies will come more capitalism.". . .

Poll: Majority of Americans Accuse Churches of Abandoning Basic Tenets of Christianity –

  RedState  "Question: Have you noticed over the last several years or longer how the more the left attacks the basic tenets of Christianity, the more some Christian churches seemingly rush to abandon or water down fundamental Christian doctrine in an attempt to placate the “Christian left”? Yeah—me, too.

"So, how’s that twisted symbiotic relationship working out?

"According to a recent Rassmussen poll, a majority of respondents believe America is losing “that old-time religion.” While more than 75 percent of online poll respondents said religious faith is important in their daily lives, adults who attend services at least weekly are most likely to strongly agree that too many religious institutions today are watering down or abandoning their traditional beliefs.

"That view is shared by 52 percent of evangelical Christians, as well as 34 percent of Catholics, 30 percent of Protestants, and 41 percent of Jews, Rasmussen found. Is it any wonder? Consider the following:

"The churches, which refer to themselves as “Reproductive Freedom Congregations” [how “clever”] are united in their public support of a woman’s “right” to an abortion and are determined to “take God back” from the religious right.

"God was unavailable for comment, although sources suggest He might weigh in, later.

"I’ll just leave this here:

Biden Returns From Vacation Overseas, Leaves on Another Vacation, and Insults His Interior Secretary

  RedState   

"Joe Biden embarrassed us before the world while he was on his vacation of Northern Ireland and Ireland.

"First, Biden got confused about where his office was and had a huge security breach while he was in Northern Ireland. Then he snapped at his son Hunter in a deli in Ireland and twisted the words of Pope John Paul II about the Catholic faith. He managed to insult the British by calling a rugby team the “Black and Tans.” He even ticked off the Irish president’s dog. He told a bunch of stories that couldn’t have happened in a speech to the Irish Parliament. He couldn’t even respond to a simple question from a child and had to have Hunter help him multiple times. Then he made up another story that he told the kids, which couldn’t possibly be true. Finally, his parting words were about how we’re all doomed by climate change, but we could “lick the world.”

"He’s spent 40 percent of his time in office on vacation. That is a ridiculous waste of our tax dollars. He claims that he’s only been to the Rehoboth home “10 times” — I’m guessing he means since he’s been occupying the White House. But we’re also having to pay for a wall being built around the beach home that costs more than half a million dollars. Because walls work for his security; we’re just not allowed to have them for the security of our nation.

"Biden also said that he’d made up his mind about running again, although he wasn’t ready to announce it just yet.". . .

Those marketing ploys cost their companies not only their fan base, but their bottom lines.

. . ."For nearly 80 years, soft drink giant Coca-Cola was the most powerful beverage force in the industry since its inception in 1886. WIth the exception of the newly formed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, Coca-Cola literally had no competition.

"However, in the mid 1980’s, that had all but changed. By 1985, they had continued to lose significant market shares to diet and non-drink alternatives. To make matters worse, blind taste tests proved that consumers preferred Pepsi by large margins. In response to those results, Coca-Cola made a bold move-‘New Coke’ was introduced. The backlash was ‘bold’, to say the least.

"'New Coke left a bitter taste in the mouths of the company’s loyal customers. Within weeks of the announcement, the company was fielding 5,000 angry phone calls a day. By June, that number grew to

"8,000 calls a day, a volume that forced the company to hire extra operators.

" 'I don’t think I’d be more upset if you were to burn the flag in our front yard,” one disgruntled drinker wrote to company headquarters. At protests staged by grassroots groups such as “Old Cola Drinkers of America,” consumers poured the contents of New Coke bottles into sewer drains.

"One Seattle consumer even filed suit against the company to force it to provide the old drink. The outrage caught Coca-Cola executives by surprise. They had hardly made a rash decision unsupported by data. After all, they had performed 190,000 blind taste tests on U.S. and Canadian consumers.". . .
