Though Hurricane Sandy violently destroyed the sources of power in New York’s Long Island, leaving many people without electricity, the Power Authority in Long Island is determined to make those people more miserable.
According to The Consumerist, “many people on New York’s Long Island were left without electricity for weeks. But that didn’t stop the Long Island Power Authority from generating estimated bills for an entire month’s worth of power usage.”
The company clearly has no empathy or sympathy towards the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Moreover, it is unjust for the company to have “estimated bills for an entire month’s worth of power usage,” since there is no electricity available for the customers. How could they charge for services that were not provided or used by the customers? Instead of getting the power sources fixed faster or helping the customers that don’t have electricity, the company is focus on how to gain more profits from the customers. It’s too unfortunate for those customers to face the unexpected bills after losing electricity for weeks.
