Down the rabbit hole

The congestion revenue for the previous abnormally high electricity costs has now been paid out. Even before the refund was paid out, people on the left were deeply upset that people with good finances would get a refund. Still several months later, it's an ongoing discussion from these jaundiced people.

Contrast that with a convicted rapist who was last year awarded just under $72,400 in damages because after serving his sentence he was able to produce extremely dubious documents from his home country that showed he was younger than stated and was thus imprisoned 14 months too long.

In the first case, a household gets back a smaller part of a paid electricity bill, i.e. a refund from a company, albeit a government one. In the second case, a convicted rapist receives compensation with the help of dubious documents, i.e. a payment of tax money.

The left has a mental breakdown when a state corporation receives reduced revenue but accepts that criminals receive tax money in the form of damages.
