I also don't think that's how "supply and demand" works. When there's too much demand, they put prices up.Originally Posted by vidcc

That works in an open market where one can actually choose where to get ones power from. Although one can decide to pay the bill to a different source, with utilities the supply is basically fixed. It's not like shopping around at different stores to find the cheapest coffee.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
I was posting on what happened, not a "market theory"
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
With some things I agree. When Thatcher "sold the family jewels" everyone seemed happy that if they bought shares they made a quick profit. Then utility prices rose. The one saving grace was price regulations applied by the UK government without which prices would have risen even faster. In all I feel the consumer lost out on that deal.Originally Posted by GepperRankins

NHS already fecked,its in terminal decline,I think part of growing up is when you start giving a shit about bills and saving money.

The answer to all our prayers is "in terminal decline".
I heard it here first.
