The incompetence and lack of empathy from a power company baffles me without words to speak. And yet they are said, who is it going to compensate for the food that was just purchased and is now spoiling after just did food shopping, who will compensate for my infant child that is suffering from the lack of a.c. Karma goes a long way my friend and the suffrage and pain you bring is inconceivable.
