And from the Monday Moaning Department at the PeeDee, we have these little tidbits:
“Why is my sewer charge 5 1/2 times what my water bill is?” - Cleveland
“It seems a shame when, at Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ and, in all the catalogues for the sales, they can’t even mention his name, as if he’s nonexistent.” - Bay Village
“Lets see now, Kmart, Sears, Kohl’s, Target, to name a few, won’t let their employees say Merry Christmas, yet they make money off of us by selling Christmas trees, Christmas cards, etc.” Seven Hills
For item #1: Simple — we’ve screwed up the Federal subsidies, and now we have to pay through the nose. If you’re really worried about it, just don’t move to either Euclid or North Royalton: Euclid because the sewer system there is irrepairable (and no one will admit it); and North Royalton because they have NO Federal sewer subsidy — both cities for political reasons.
For items #2 & #3: that’s because some folks would rather sue than act like adults.
Happy Thanksgiving — a little early.
