They Installed A Smart Meter When My Back Was Turned

In the first place, they weren't scheduled for this county until November, per the power co's notification. More importantly, they weren't supposed to install it until you gave your verbal OK when they came to the door, because it's a political issue and potentially litigious. But the contractors are really hustling for the commission that the power co. pays for each installation. Settling aside the allegations that these things emit harmful rays and are a riskier fire hazard than the standard meters, I can't see any benefit to the consumer. Can see benefit to the power co., e.g., they will no longer need meter readers. More control from Big Brother exerting his will.

Why does Malformed always lie? Why does he use that name?

A: Because Malformed is a lefty Democrat.
