Naturally, I blame Enron.
At the San Fran Chronicle via Romenesko’s Obscure Store:
Roomie shot and killed in spat over $1,000 utility bill 35-year-old Oakland musician and pot grower was killed by his roommate, who was angered by a $1,000 utility bill for the home they shared.
<sarcasm>
Yes, indeed, it was clearly the dot-coms that jacked these poor saps’ rates up that high.
</sarcasm>
Proving once again that guns don’t kill people, deteriorating economic circumstances do, statistically speaking.
Comments
My guess is that the grower wanted to split the bill evenly, while the non-grower thought that the guy with the incredibly expensive grow lights in the back room should foot a little more. Anger ensued.
