Power companies spend millions to fight Maine’s proposed not for profit utility - because… power should be FOR PROFIT of course, and not a PUBLIC UTILITY! What a bunch of BS. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j

is a joke of a utility company.

“A first responder has arrived” to a “planned outage” that I found out about via an email I received AFTER the power went out at 2am.

Starting your day off with a newborn in the dark is not something I would recommend. So glad I’m paying all this money to “improve our grid” 🙄

Public utilities (like our water system) are supposed to have contingency and backup plans. It's hard to create redundancies, however, and difficult (and expensive) to protect against some fairly easy forms of attack. nytimes.com/2022/12/05/us/nort

This also demonstrates the sheer power of working in the public interest that have over utilities.

In , where the electric company is , they have a policy that completely prohibits utility shutoffs at all, for any reason. service-public.fr/particuliers

What if destroying is the unsaid purpose of a govt owned by mega ?

More nuanced than that.

What if small businesses are maybe less efficient than big businesses, so in a future we cannot afford to have small businesses.

So govt have decided to use the pandemic to close businesses deemed unworthy.

In this context, is there a case for and to be ?

If so, how should they be governed over by us?
