I Used to Think I was As Smart as the Average Guy
That was until I tried to figure out the electricity scam. After a few hours going in circles, as far as I can see there is no real way to figure it out.

Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.
Yet our cultural ...
