ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When 5G hubs came out for my electricity company I was given a postcard months before and it said that I could call and I could opt out of the service because it was already a digital hub they could already read my information they could already see it they can turn my power off and on with a flick of a switch with nobody coming out to do so physically. It gave a phone number so I called it, going through a couple of hoops people would not answer my questions and what I needed to know and address my concerns before they actually went ahead and did this or I said no please do not do this... The person on the phone with me told me that if I did not change this hub because medically I have a sensitivity to frequencies to noises to sounds to smells decides to everything because I have my own medical issues and that if I was not going to be switching it over that it would cost me $100 out of my pocket and then every month thereafter would cost me another $50 added on to my bill because somebody would physically have to come out and read this because they would not listen to me when I said I have a medical letter here from my doctor who do I send it to so it doesn't happen to me and to forego also my neighbor who I am renting but as long as I'm here it should be recognized as well because both of our meters are in the same position and her meter would obviously give frequencies off so if I didn't change mine and she did I would still be sick.
She furthermore lets me know that it's going to cost me extra and every month it's going to cost me the X amount of dollars that she stayed in she said well don't worry honey it's the same as having a microwave I said I don't have a microwave because I get severe headaches I get them so bad and so frequently I get very nauseous and I would be sick for very large periods of time and sometimes hospitalized.
And she didn't know what to say to me I said see me to tell me because I'm disabled because I have a medical reasoning for this not to happen that you're going to charge me extra you're going to charge someone who's disabled extra money to be disabled.
I'm trying to understand this because I'll be honest with you my lawyer will be definitely interested in this conversation.
She immediately says oh I'm so sorry hold on one moment and puts me on hold furthermore she refers me to another person who claims to be a supervisor and said well this is what it is and until it changes that's what's going to be we're either going to do it and to be honest with you we're already changing in your area and likely this request will not be seen until it's already been done and we cannot undo it once we've done it.
Furthermore stating even though they give you the option to opt out they really didn't mean they could opt you out of it they weren't going to they were not intending to and they certainly didn't care if I was medically unwell from this surgeon in waves coming through my home and through my body causing me to be ill.
So do I have issues with all of this absolutely these I love this they call them improvements to our energy or not improvements because there have been no studies on this brand new technology because we're at a war of technology and who's got the better stuff and who can get it up and running quicker we're not looking at what are the effects that they're going to have on the people who actually pay for us to have this business these little people who are getting sick these little people who don't have the extra money to put a faraday cage around everything.
This is so sick and I can't believe this is
