Sharp as a Marble

My mother told me that she helped conserve water since it was a drought and that because everyone stopped using water, the water company realized it was losing profits so it jacked up the prices after the fact.

Seems she's not the only one to notice.

This should have happened the other way around. Jack up the price to reflect the lower supply and watch usage drop. This makes them look like economic idiots.

I was just telling someone that the feds and the states would have to start jacking up gas taxes if people ever really started conserving gasoline. Just wait.

They're government officials. Of course they're economic idiots. But it's really about controlling the people, anyway.

And Hillary's already proposing a gas tax hike.
