We all choose to spend whatever income we have somewhere. The issue is NOT that one cannot afford to pay their electric/utility bill, but, rather, that one chooses a higher priority than living without gas/electric. Having done so, is the gas/electric company then 'morally obligated' to pay their employees with empathy, rather than dollars .... in order to support the higher priorities of their non-paying customers? 06-21-2013, 02:01 PM

What state are you in? Some states will extend you some time if you have a minor child, or a disabled person who can't tolerate the heat---such as asthma. Also, try contacting various social service agencies.
