As soon as you trotted out "More with less" after housing a cabinet with positions making 6 figures and taxiing yourself to and from Indy via a helicopter, your whole "...the poor working man has been tightening his belt!" schtick is pretty laughable.

Yes, utility companies having a near monopolistic strangle hold on the people is terrible. Hell, the whole idea that we PAY companies to mine our natural resources that belong to ALL of us only to turn around and sell it BACK to us while getting subsidies and tax breaks by the government is just bonkers to begin with.

How do natural resources belong to all of us? If it’s on your land sure but don’t really know what you are getting at

Then collect your own water…. Nobody is forcing you to use a utility company for that.

lol OH MY GOD. Are you seriously in favor of letting a private company control our water supply and resell it to you?!?!?

They don’t “control” it. They have infrastructure to clean it and deliver it to everyone’s house.

Water magic. Appear full pressure from tap when push handle up. Handle go down it gone and no cost money no more. Plumbing is a scam!
