Bingo. He's not paid to save us money. He's paid to make money for shareholders.

No one should be making a profit on something people need to survive in the society they built for us.

The electrical grid was built way before I was born. Majority of people alive today grew up with electricity being a necessity to survive.

I know.
My point is that the laborers built the infrastructure, not the shareholders.

As a lineman, how do you feel about the electrical workers in France striking by giving away power?
Is something like this even feasible in CT?

MBA student. He's doing exactly what he's paid to do.
Their earnings per share last year was $2.55. Start buying shares and you can pay your electric bill with their money if it makes you feel better.

Sounds like something an MBA would say.
Consumer: I am skipping a meal every day to pay my electric bill.
MBA student: Well, obviously you need to skip one more meal a day and use the money to buy shares. It's simple, really.
What a fucking dystopia.
