A Trump Hater is a Traitor
You forgot the ending quotation mark Glad to see you reformed. Stealing other folks stuff is just so wrong. Makes me wonder why Trump fired you back in nthe 80s. -

A Trump Hater is a Traitor
Notice how pithily he writes when he is scared of getting called out again for plagiarism and copy and pasting? We know your reason. He bested you. Do you think men can change into women by just saying so? -

A Trump Hater is a Traitor
I really do find quite fascinating how offended Trump supporters get when you criticize him. Objectively speaking the man is likely the most offensive, most ignorant, and most ill informed politician of my lifetime. Every time he opens his mouth his incredible level of ignorance is on full display, he rarely ever talks about substance, and he spends the vast majority of his time name calling and criticizing everyone that he doesn't like. -

Agree entirely, and it's the thing I don't like about this forum, and it stops me from posting, as many times I make a post or type out a reply, then just delete it because I think...why bother, someone is just going to come right back at me, twist my words to use against me, and I can do without the agro. -

Extremely high electricity bill for an Airbnb
Hi, thank to everyone for all of the comments; they have been very helpful! In the time since I originally posted, I got a response from the Airbnb host, who wrote: "I charged 7 THB per unit as always, it doesn't change from your previous stay" Well, this is the horse's mouth, the smoking gun. Based on what Ohyesuare and several other people have said, this is indeed an inflated rate for something that should be 4 or 4.5 THB per unit. It's like the host is trying to make a big profit from the utilities. (I stayed at the host's place recently on another occasion for 2 months and paid a really high bill without complaining, so I got overcharged on that occasion, also.) Airbnb allows you to decline the money request or make a counteroffer. I plan to counteroffer $900 USD (almost 30,000 baht) to settle the matter. If we do go through an official review process, I don't think the host will look good. I like the place in which I stayed, but this water/electricity charge just does not seem fair. (As an aside: we all know that the host charges more for a rental than they actually pay in rent -- that makes sense and is part of the whole point of Airbnb. But I can't see any argument for a host simply inventing their own rate for various utilities. Even if the host writes in the fine print, "I charge 7 baht per unit for electricity," few renters are going to be so aware of local electricity rates that they will raise an eyebrow or even think to price-shop where electricity is concerned. That is, Airbnb would need to be transparent about the whole thing -- if I rent for a month, I should be able to compare an apartment that charges 40,000/month rent, 4 baht per unit/electricity, with an apartment that charges 37,000 baht/month rent, 7 baht per unit/electricity, and the utility rates should be prominently displayed along with the rental price. It all gets hopelessly complicated and I'd think that Airbnb would agree that the electricity rate should be the local going rate, not a figure that the host invents.)
