Yup utilities and healthcare have proverbial moats. It’s too hard for upstarts to access the infrastructure to compete, so it’s anti competitive by nature.

Exactly, so who cares what the laws are? So stop bitching about gun control. It won't prevent whatever senseless violence you eventually decide to inflict.

What's stupid about it? Pregnancy kills a lot of people every year, especially in America as compared to most modern nations. Abortion as self defense is a perfectly reasonable case.

> Handguns are made for killing. Not for target practice, hand/eye coordination or recreational.
Blows my mind y'all still try to make this argument

of course it does. he doubled our prices so he could get a bigger yacht. he's been jealous ever since his arch nemesis got a bigger one than his previous one. but he forgets, it ain't the size of the boat that matters, it's the motion of the ocean. and i hope the motion of the ocean sinks his precious yacht. 🌊💥🛥

Which is why we had a mixed market that specifically prevented monopolies... This is not because corporations are acting like they always have. This is because we elected leadership that were on the board of those corporations or are too lazy to explain complex economic concepts like oligopolies.

A most disliked utility company. Some of my friends have received very high bills. I have Wallingford Electric and so glad not to be at the mercy of price gouging Eversource, paying for the CEO's skyrocketing salary, payment of politicians to vote to allow a wealthy utility to collect more money from customers.

Exactly. Free market capitalism requires two fundamental things to operate; valid competition and no coerced consumption. Both of these things are missing in utilities; there are no other distributors in the market, and people are effectively required to purchase electricity to survive and function at this point in history.

It’s illegal to drive drunk, have you ever even heard of a fatal drunk driving accident? Me neither!

I agree with you! I just mean I think some regulations and laws with guns are good and yes, best when followed. 😊

Well having a law that says to people need to report guns that are stolen.... Obviously if people are not following the law then it still wouldn't have kept what happened from happening. That being said I'm so sorry for your loss.

And CT will do nothing about it.
We should really nationalize utilities.

Mmmm.....my mother was murdered with a gun stolen from a gun store that they never reported. I don't agree with banning guns but I do believe in safe handling and following protocol.
