The Latest Evergy Plans

How is this not illegal?  Why is there not more of an uproar?  What follows is an example of how best to rip-off your customers by hiding the true cost.   They have even gone so far as to hide these costs from the general public, which are only accessible through logging in to their site.  While not much of a change, it will enable Evergy to better hide rate increases from consumers.  

If they tell you otherwise, they are lying.  

Your lowest cost rate plan

Based on your electricity use history, you’ll save the most on the Standard Peak Saver rate plan.

The amounts shown here are estimates based on your electricity usage from available data using applicable rate prices and surcharges only. They do not include local taxes or fees and are rounded to the nearest $1 (with annual estimates rounded to the nearest $5), so they may not match your total billed amounts each month. Your estimated costs will vary based on your future energy use and future rate plan prices.

Note that, in order to ensure a full 12 months of usage is included in our annual estimates, your estimates may include more than 12 bill periods.

Sexual Equity

A woman compliments another woman on how beautiful her blue shirt is, and how it really brings out the blue in her eyes.  That is perfectly acceptable.

If a man repeats the same line to a woman, it is sexual harassment.

How?  

Why?

Seems like a bit of a double standard to me.
