If you use it, pay for it. Do these guys want to continue to free ride on the general public subsidies? It is time to call out these parasites on society. Perhaps they may need to turn off a few air conditioners and live like the rest of us, and they may be able to comfortably meet their faie dues for what they choose to consume. The consumption is all controllable, so simply start doing it.

Against subsidy for religion Monday, 19 September 2022 05:39 PM

This is religious groups looking for subsiding. They already had the cheapest fees for electricity and their excessive use of the ultra cheap electricity is partly to blame for the CEBs losses. Our country will forever be poor and in the dark while religious groups seek higher status by getting cheaper prices than the majority of citizens. Let these religious groups understand the nature of suffering the rest of our public is going through. They have had to too easy for too long. Each of our 22 million has a weight of between $2000 and $3000 debt with our minimally $55 billion dollar sovereign/national debt. Let a portion of these religious places be sold to pay off at least of some of the debt each of us is under.

Food first religious place last Monday, 19 September 2022 09:52 PM

These petitioners care more about lights on than providing food for the children with the money wasted on keeping lights on. Having Buddhism as sacred in our constitution means that funding maybe given to religious place upkeep instead of providing money for overcoming lack of food for the needy. Funding for temples by government instead of the poor is crimes against humanity under the guise of the needing to do it for the constitution. We have much garbage like Amendment 13A but who takes that India forced in defilement as worthy or needing to be implemented.
