Reply to comment by F__kCustomers in Eversource, United Illuminating have spent millions to lobby Connecticut lawmakers by Toybasher

I hope they continue to raise rates. And i hope the people in this sub that continue to defend the politicians of CT get screwed so you finally learn the lesson.

Red and blue dont care about you. You need to stop giving them your vote, your thoughts and your money. The moment you realize you are not represented, thats when you wake up.

The people that defend lamont and his crew are about to learn a good lesson. You need to fire them all, the reds too. Career politicians do not work for you, they work for eversource and corporations.

Ah yes, nihilism. Where nothing gets better but at least you've soothed your ego by having your perpetual negativity validated. Cringe post. You should feel embarrassed.

Yes, because regurgitating the MSM narrative verbatim on social media isn't an exercise in superficial validation and accomplishes so much.

At least this person isn't childish enough to think one side are the good guys and one side are the bad guys. They both rape this country endlessly of our hard earned tax dollars, one group just does it with a smile and tells you it's for your own good.

Political representation is dead. Every election cycle we get bombarded by corporate funded campaigns that create an illusion of “candidates for the people”.

Stop giving them the time of day. Stop defending them. Both sides sucks and they care only for their corporate masters.

Other sides suck I will agree however they are not the same, far from it. If people want more options including (viable) other parties we need to end First-past-the-post and replace it with something along the lines of ranked choice.

We need change.

We do not need more career politicians or cult followers

I hope you end up signing up for assistance to keep from freezing to death friend. Nothing but the best for CT natives that refuse to see the underlying problems of the state.

Yeah, fire everybody! Brilliant! Question. Whose charge? No one? You?

I know hard to grasp for you but if you look at the constitution, the government should be ran by the people, for the people. Not the corporations. So yes, fire them all, put term limits, stop corporate PACs and corporate level lobbying and make public servants serve the public and not private corporations.

Except the politicians passed a law allowing us to swap to any supplier for electricity we want without penalty. They armed us already with what we need to combat this. There have been multiple posts on the subreddit about it. You have leverage against eversource on the supply side because competition exists there.

The vast majority of people cant. Also have you read their contracts? What about the eversource delivery service?

We have a monopoly with make up to make it look like a free market (oh wow u get to choose ur source but get butt fucked with delivery and contract details/penalties).

I know there are people here who will defend their beloved politicians even if get thrown out of their homes. Good luck.

With respect to eversource, anyone has access to alternative suppliers. It is illegal in Connecticut for there to be any punitive conditions on any contract or rate lock with a supplier - this is the law I'm referring to. I've read the contract, it mentions fees for breaking your lock for a different supplier "unless in the following states" where CT is listed because our Congress people did that for us. I am not worshipping anyone. I am stating a factual law on the books that they created to our benefit.

Eversource still owns delivery. Their rates are locked by law until 2024. This is what happens when you privatize a utility. If you are arguing for a state sponsored and run energy company, I wholeheartedly agree.
