1 My god, you are stupid. It's funny how everyone of your GD posts centers around a giant, villanous corporation plotting against you. They spend all of their time trying to figure out how they can get their grubby hands on the $8 per hour that you earn. By calling the private sector "greedy", you are saying that everyone who does not work for the state is greedy. Do you really want something as vital as electricity supplied by the state? Remember, dipstick, these are the same people who run the DMV. Is that the kind of service you want? Profit motive is not evil. Everything you can buy as a consumer (and I mean everything, from your lactose-tolerance drugs to your male hormone supplements to your macintosh) is available to us because it is produced by a profit-motivated, private sector company. Stop posting. You are too stupid to communicate with people. |

I'm suprised the DPUC actually rejected a rate hike. Usually the favor the CL&P rate hikes.
Wow, a shocker! They only reason they rejected this one was because of the CL&P error. If CL&P says their costs are going up then DPUC would've probably agreed to it. unfortunately. But, hey at least they rejected it this time! Why can't CL&P absorb the extra costs, I do! I can't pass on the extra costs to anybody else, why should they!? They CAN afford it, the CEO's CAN afford it,they just don't want to, they want to keep their current profit margin. I can't keep mine, so why should they!?! Shame on CL&P to try to pass on a rate hike becuase of THEIR error, how arrogant! |

1 Lets see all the goodness these "corporations" have served us in the past cost us MILLIONS in tax dollars for bailing out the savings & loans in the 80's Remember ERON?????????? How about TICO?????????? We just got hosed the past 6 months by "over speculation" in the oil market....by who?????? WALL ST I guess all the housing mess is just **** poor decision making on the home owners part, huh??????? Wake the hell up |

They were quick to reject CL&P's rate hike request but approved UI's when they had sky-high rates to begin with! I wonder why?? CL&P's client base is all upper CT while UI's is mainly New Haven County and southern CT.

Do you mean ENRON and TYCO? What about them? They didn't get a federal bailout. ENRON went under and TYCO spun off some divisions but they're still kicking. I agree with you that speculators are a huge part of the problem when it comes to oil prices but you can't lay the housing mess solely at the feet of Wall St and Corporate America. After all, they didn't hold a gun to people's heads and force them to take out mortgages they couldn't afford. People did that to themselves. |

Electricity should become regulated again. This would allow the energy to be produced by the utility as well as providing the transmission. We currently experience so many rate increases due to the fact that CL&P is simply a transmission venue for electricity. They have a lower profit margin as they are not getting the profit from the generation as well. Thus they continue to raise rates. Lastly why are the power generation companies always adding fossil fuel plants, and increasing our dependence on foreign oil? I think Dominion should be contracted to install new Nuclear Power Facilities throughout the state and the US to send big oil a message we soon won't need their stinking oil!!

Both these corporations Jen stole MILLIONS from the investors......wiped out alot of peoples retirement accounts EXCEPT for the CEO's..........which most went to jail but have MILLIONS in offshore accounts Jen when companies "intentialy" decieve the people in contracts as thes preditors did.not disclosing exactly what "fee's" were attached etc.....Why do think the clown from Coutrywide may go to jail????? |
|
My point was that there was no taxpayer bailout of Enron & TYCO as your post seemed to suggest. Ken Lay, Dennis Koszlowski & their crew cost their investors and Enron's employees not the taxpayer. I agree that some of the shadier mortgage companies employed preditory tactics but you seem to be suggesting that the individuals that took on more mortgage than they could afford have no fault in this mess. |

Hose,
What Jen is trying to say is that your kneejerk reaction on EVERY thread is to blame evil, powerful, behind-the-scene forces for whatever causes your displeasure du jour. From what I read in your postings, you see a conspiracy behind a pleasant sunny day (it's those sunscreen companies sticking it to the little guy). Your lot in life is your doing, not the work of greedy, evil puppetmasters. Be a man. Captain your own ship. Stop whining. |

It's Enron and Tyco, and those were individuals, not the entire the "corporation" I wish I had though to invest in oil a couple of years ago. I should have move to Saudi Arabia also. I'd be rich, but, yes, we did it to ourselves, because we are so dependant on it. If we weren't so dependant on it and had alternate sources, it wouldn't be an issue. And as for the housing problems, yes it is the homeowners who entered into Variable Rate Mortgages!! Duh!!! With interest rates as low as they were, where else were they going to go but up? Anyone who entered into a ARM are the cause of the FORCLOSURES being where they are. The housing market is the way it is because there are so many forclosures, there aren't enough people around to buy them all! You think about it! |
Judge it!
