We're fools for putting up with this ridiculous utility price hike at the altar of corporate profit.
That's it. That's my April the 1st "hot take".

[John Dent @thejohndent]

This isn't "only boil a cup of water at a time" or "don't buy Starbucks" territory.
Seeing the profits these companies are making, it's borderline criminal.
Utilities are part of infrastructure, they are a NEED and not an opportunity for extortion.

[John Dent @thejohndent]

How is this even remotely acceptable? How is anyone supposed to afford this?
It's not inconvenient, it's actually impossible. People are going to get their utilities shut off and/or end up in crippling debt THEN get their utilities shut off.

Is fuel poverty a public health issue?

Another exciting Valentine's Day tucked up in bed early --this time with an exciting episode of the Financial Diet podcast!

@lizkeech1 So....when are you playing this role? ;)

[John Dent @thejohndent]

Not planning on going Trick or Treating this year, so it's a glass of red and some scary tales for me!

Your search for a fright to "enjoy" is at an end.

Change the culture

[John Dent @thejohndent]

This whole debacle is preposterous and incredibly draining.

[John Dent @thejohndent]

Feeling incredibly worn down by media outlets empowering the small (hateful) groups that don't speak for the majority of us.

[John Dent @thejohndent]

...you don't really understand what crime is, you don't understand how abusers function and your refusal to engage with these realities helps scapegoat those committing these evils.

[John Dent @thejohndent]

"You seem really depressed lately" can often feel like a criticism, especially if you're in a bad place.
"I've noticed you've not been singing as much recently--is everything ok" lets them know you notice the little things that make them who they are and that you care.

A reminder on #WorldMentalHealthDay that awareness without action or positive change does not go very far!

[John Dent @thejohndent]

Is someone you care about behaving differently or appears to be struggling?
Give them the opportunity to open up to you--being direct can often be intimidating!
