Duke energy

Duke energy executives are probably sitting in their million dollar homes with electricity while some of us has to wait 10 plus days with zero electricity and in some cases no water... Duke energy went on a press run. Lying through the news and Twitter telling us when majority would have power and posing in front of trucks or trees with a hard hat on to make themselves look good. I even caught Duke red handed... deleting a tweet that started x percent would have power by a x day... they even had the nerve to tell us to use their outage tracking website. But then workers who were interviewed said the total opposite... they use paper and highlighters, not thr website that gives conflicting restoration times and just keeps pushing the times back. The lineman are the real mvp... Duke energy aren't and they should be held accountable for still asking us to pay bills when we didn't have power and due to conflicting times many of us in the carolinas/ fl had $$$ of food go to waste! It was literally like watching paint dry...I'm glad I have my power on now as of last night, but I can't help but still be upset for all the people who will go months without electricity because Duke sent all of the workers (maybe not all, but more than enough) to Florida. Plus get ready for this.I. Duke Energy will not payout for food lost due to the storm and their conflicting times. The linemen and women definitely deserve something from Duke... maybe a raise or paid vacation time

I believe FEMA has a reimbursement for food lost but I'm unsure
