You might be in California?
The general rate cases for the next year-and-change are posted. The CPUC rubber stamps them, so we already know that there are upcoming rate hikes of around 16% within the next year.

Soon your bill will be linked to how much you make. So if you're in the top half of income earners, then you'll be charged more.

That's already the case where I'm at (not California). The electric bill often comes with inserts explaining how I could save money if my income is below some threshold. Same goes for my other utility bills.

Income would have no meaning anymore. If we thought this labor shortage is bad, I can't imagine how we'd get through the one that would cause.

- BenjiWiebe 4y agoI'd assume something like: double your income, rates go up by 20%. That way you are still incentivized to make more money.
- zbrozek 4y agoI'm getting to the point, at 34 years old, that I think I should sell out and move to a low cost of living place that doesn't penalize me and retire. What happens to an economy if lots of other prime earning years people did the same thing?
