are breaking down, is that the Public Utilities Commission has become Hand Maidens to the Quasi-Governmental Corporations that have taken them over. And Corporations mantra is: PROFITs above all else, including replacement or repairs.
The PUC people in States have been pro corporations for DECADES. Worsening, and getting away with, ever lessening repairs and replacement, because that would undermine profitability.
Look no further than Texas most recently..................
We have experienced it, and continue to experience it in Colorado with Xcel Gas and Electrical, Century Link, and even Denver Water and Denver Metro sewage here in Denver.......
.
I laughed at the whole Texas Debacle, but then, last month, Xcel slapped everyone here in Denver for a 600 $ surcharge, realizing the huge amount of money that Texas utilities had so easily gouged out of THEIR customers. Here in Colorado, there was absolutely no reason for the surcharge, we were experiencing a normal winter, and already had even had a colder (normal) winter period a month before, with no surcharge......
I am just waiting to see if our Colorado "PUC" lets them get away with this surcharge scam for no reason what so ever.....
The merger of Government and Corporations is defined in the dictionary as a merger of Government and Corporations.
We just came within a millimeter of the U.S. becoming a Corporate Fascist Dictatorship on January 6th.
Look forward to them succeeding next time, and the U.S. being renamed UCA, United Corporations of America, doing away with the United States of America and Kissing Democracy goodbye for all time.
