re: #17 calochortus
I could be wrong, but I suspect something will be done about those bills. Not in time to prevent all sorts of damage to people’s lives and finances, but this is a really bad look for business-friendly Texas.
Also, it’s why you shouldn’t have fluctuating bills automatically paid from your account without you having to click on something to OK it first.
Another reason I try to minimize the number of auto-pay setups on any of my utilities. Or any account.
