Why such huge salaries for people already earn a salary. Secondly, why do they not allow all pensioners to get a pensioners discount on entire electricity bill. Why duscremnate against the elderly. You are a bunch of rubbish that only seek favor with certain people. It is disgusting. You proof yourself unfit for this job.
