🇦🇺Australia’s government is rolling out a plan to give everyone free #electricity⚡ for a few hours each day, when #solar power output is very high, to encourage shifted energy use and ease grid stress ☀️🔌😀
Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Many NC schools expect low staff attendance tomorrow because of walk outs in protest to our state still not passing a budget💰. Which means they haven’t seen their raises yet. And they anticipate health insurance premiums to 🚀 next year. #ncpol www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
Some NC teachers walked out on Friday in protest. It could happen again soon.
Some teachers are talking about calling out of work again on Nov. 10 and Nov. 17 to protest lack of new state pay raises.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
