My guess is that people aren’t really worried about insurance companies or the medical establishment pressuring people.
I think people maybe don’t want to feel guilty not choosing this option if their families are under pressure.

That’s why if I can, I’ll move to another lane. And yes it doesn’t solve their problem they just get stuck behind the next car but at least I avoid an accident.
As a general rule I think it’s prudent that if you want to drive the speed limit move to a right lane if it’s possible.

I’m a bit skeptical that Eversource put a hold on transfer.
I actually called Eversource too before I signed the contract since it was my first time doing this. I asked if there’s anything I should be aware of or any complications or whatnot, the rep said no and implied it was pretty straightforward.
Others have repeatedly stated that Eversource has absolutely no skin in the game who you get your electricity from. Is there any reason that this may not be true? I’m inclined to believe this because many people switch back and forth between different suppliers

I have my contract but have not received my final answer.
If they don’t give me the initial rate I’m really inclined to cancel.
I actually called constellation before signing up asking how they could go so much lower. Rep told me something about being able to compete better or something. Didn’t make much sense but then wasn’t actually expecting a real truthful answer.
The thing is they knew they were getting a lot of new clients from New England, they could’ve changed their rates right then just because, you know, ‘capitalism’.
Psychologically speaking this is really a crappy move. You feel invested and it logically makes sense to sign the contract if it’s ‘anything’ below the Eversource rate.

Is development along the river possible?
Thinking something like Boston, but don’t know if it makes sense here.

Reply to Apologies for yet another thread on the new electricity rates coming our way, but for anyone who has yet to switch away from Eversource, I just did it and it took all of two minutes and will save my wife and I tons of money by mikemikemikeandike
So if I switch to constellation who will be providing customer service? Will it still be Eversource?

Reply to Connecticut Students Show Steep Losses in Math and Reading, According Harvard Study by jr_reddit
I think the study has a big flaw (and others like it) in that they give the impression that all the problems are due to remote learning in those two years.
1)Teacher burnout is real
- Loss of income, severely sick family members and death during the pandemic are all problems that have affected the stress levels in kids which directly effects their learning abilities.
Aside from this, it’s not just about the kids being ok, many had old or vulnerable family members which would have definitely been put in harms way.
And also the teachers. Teacher burnout is real, pmuch of the country has real problems retaining teachers. Imagine telling them they have to come to work and either they or their family members would have passed aways or ended severely sick or with long covid.

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear?
I don’t think anyone is suggesting an insurance company is right out going to be able to say they won’t pay for treatment because the patient can choose to die which is cheaper.
My guess is that people believe insurance companies will deny treatment and make up some reason to deny it because they know there is a cheaper option= dying
In general I don’t think this makes sense because insurance companies already deny paying for treatments all the time. Thinking that ‘well you can die’ is an excuse for them doesn’t add up.
