While reading the letter regarding the too-high electricity rates cause by Muskrat Falls written by Susan L. Baetzel, two bright ideas flashed into my mind.
Here are two possible solutions for her and numerous senior women of N.L. who are frustrated.
First — The Newfoundland and Labrador government promotes women entrepreneurs. Approach the N.L. Department of Tourism to add a unique, exciting event to our tourism pamphlets after the spring thaw of 2020. A tourist would pledge an unspecified amount of money to be given 100 per cent to N.L. charities for a politician or company dignitary associated with Muskrat Falls to volunteer to be placed inside a barrel and rolled over the falls. Much needed revenue would be generated, especially if it was viewed on Youtube.
Who will be the first politician or company dignitary to volunteer to get the first barrel rolling?
Second — Malcontent, forlorn and frozen senior women (Susans and Sallys) should stop dancing the Charleston alone. Grab yourself a red hot, hed-haired version of the Great Gatsby, then dance together through the upcoming roaring Twenties decade. As you both warm up, you can turn down the thermostat and save dollars.
Where is our hero Reddy Killowat when we desperately need him.
