Sorry, but you're not just a little bit wrong here, you're totally wrong. I just Googled the number of electricity providers here in Houston. I knew there were several, but was astonished to find that there are several dozen! - in my zip code alone! In spite of the recession, Houston's still growing but, to my knowledge, has never had a demand overload outage, and all the thousands of new houses get electricity when they need it. The fact that they all don't string their own lines doesn't preclude healthy, non-monopolistic competition.
The baloney's not on Thorsten's plate this time.
In a way, you guys are right that lax government oversight, by K's or Macri, and cronyism, is the problem- but a responsible modern corporation, like the ones in Houston or Germany, would realize you get more customers, and make more money, when the power is working than when its not.
jjaajaj Suggest that to Ceviche, the one that Proposed Better Buildings..! mine was a tongue-in-cheek comment . You didn't get it :wub: One should move to Ceviche's building.?
Ok. You guys can make fun of me. But i never had power cuts or loss of water or gas supply or a planned robbery in my building since 2009..i live in this building.
But i empathize with people suffering from power cuts. I grew up in Congo with dailyyy power cuts and mosquitos buzzing in the ear in hot weather. So i am glad to get a reprieve now. Have already faced my share of hardships - not born in a first world country.
This is the first time since arriving in 2004 that I've gone a year without losing power.
Now that I've said it, I wonder if I'll be able to finish this post before the power goes out.
