“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

At the beginning of winter, Detroit Edison (DTE) informed its customers they will be eligible for a $25 credit–IF they suffer a power outage of more than 16 hours under “normal conditions.” Or if they have an outage of more than five days, in the event of a storm. Or if they have eight “sustained” outages in a year’s time.
A person could freeze to death in less than five days. Are our relatives supposed to find consolation in the $25 credit DTE will give them for our lives?!
