Chutzpah

Used to be, the common example for chutzpah was the kid who murdered his parents and then begged for mercy from the court because he was an orphan.

We have a new candidate.

One of the local power companies (not mine, thank God) has an abysmal record when it comes to restoring power after storm outages. I'm talking days later than adjacent power companies here.

This power company just requested a temporary rate increase to make up the money they lost because so many of their customers weren't using electricity for so long after the last storm.

I wonder if that orphaned kid grew up to be a utility executive?
