How the Economy & Power Rates Concern Me

Well, I want to tell you how it's getting on my nerves. The economy isn't really going great like it does in other places. I think the reason why the economy is down, is because the people here aren't spending more than they are saving. So it doesn't help the businesses that are trying to get enough money to keep on going. Many people are leaving the island because of this law that can't allow alien residents/workers to stay for long. There won't be much workers anymore, but what's the point? There aren't much jobs anyway for them to apply for. That's another good reason. I hope I can stay here but I want to move to the states, because it's a great place to be in and people used to call it, "The Land of Opportunity". Some day, I will accomplish things and try to make the economy better in this island.

But another thing that is chasing the people away and making are economy worse than it already is, is the power rates. I think the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation also known as CUC is monopolizing all the electricity here. They've been raising the bill prices and at the same time they're giving all these stupid power outages and it's giving me a migrain! Even when I'm playing a video game and I'm in the middle of the suspense part and the power goes out, or when I'm doing my homework and there's a surge, it always keeps me worried and I couldn't concentrate anymore on what I'm doing. If only I could do something about it. Which I can, since I am part of the new generation trying to clean up the mess the past made, I will finish my studies so that I will be able to create a new world. Okay, that is all.
