  3. Should be illegal to sell off any public utility or asset to any private entity. Seriously should be illegal with 5 years minimum confinement I say, because these are serious matters and this bullshit just shouldn't be able to continue. Even if a local municipality is hyper corrupt and is intentionally doing a terrible job I have zero faith that a private corporation is going to improve on that. They're just going to put that on steroids. Sometimes there is no good option, but choosing a corporate thief to run your town is never the better choice. It's a shame that so many people have to learn this the hard way and I know most citizens oppose these deals but municipal councils are famously full of self-serving narcissists who could care less about their own constituents. No doubt they're taking plenty of kickbacks.

  4. So corporate criminals are colluding with state level and local level officials to cut our throats? Who knew?? Sad but really, what's new? In a kleptocracy that's how business is done. It sucks shouldn't be this way but yep I mean it's not right but I don't know how to stop it. Our officials do this to us. Shameful but absolutely par for the course.

  5. It's good to know we're all going to die in the next 50 years because Wall Street will have owned everything and it'll be too expensive for everyone else. Good to know. I just love the way things are going what a great age to be alive.

  6. Well this is what happens when the public savages that we elect cut our throats. It's really nothing new it just happens in different ways. I'm sure we have a lot more in store. I mean we vote for these people, we think "okay you know they can't be all bad surely at least one out of 10 decisions they make might be positive for this community" and bing bang boom surprise nope! next thing you know they're claiming ignorance and "oh they're just so innocent they had no idea what's going on they didn't know that by selling off your public resources to these legalized theft organizations would be bad!" I mean this is what happens when our elected officials sell us out. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. For them to claim ignorance like they didn't read the fine print and they didn't know what was going to happen I find stunning and absolutely incredulous. No one believes that bullshit. I don't care how small of a town you are, if a big corporation comes knocking they want to rob you blind and leave you dead in the street!! A baby could tell you that. They're not the good guys. Everybody knows that!!. They're not here to help I mean..... the real crime is by the public officials there's no way they didn't know what was going to happen. So they should have to pay for the outrageous bills of the community. Shouldn't be legal. But anything is legal in this country; this country is operates on unregulated white collar crime. It is a fourth world Larceny State, I don't know how else to put it. Klepto-State could be another term. Kleptocracy is another. I mean to act like public officials didn't allow this with their blessing is a joke. They're obviously in on it together; I mean it's like going to a snake oil salesman or a stereotypical used car salesman and acting like you expect an honest deal- who would who would find that believable?? These grown adults acting like they were just born yesterday ; just walked out of their homes for the first time and didn't know that these corporate crime syndicates were on the prowl looking for easy victims? Give me an effing break. Give me a BREAK! I say these officials should be on the hook for these bills not the townspeople. The townspeople didn't ask for this the officials did and they should have the liability. Sounds fair to me.

  7. And the corporate destruction and thieving of America continues...... At this rate one wonders what will be left in 2070?? Approx 50 years from now.

  8. Well if it were up to me investing itself would be illegal. I see it as mostly theft. Startup funding would be fine anything else, no. Maybe a little bit of stock ownership but that's it.

  9. Do local governments not know by that these people are criminals? What exactly did they think was going to happen when they sold their public resources to a for-profit criminal organized crime operation basically??? I mean do they think they were a charity did they think they would turn around and give the water back essentially for free? I blame the municipal criminals that allowed this to happen in the first place. We put our trust in them that they're going to at least try to make halfway responsible decisions that aren't going to f*** us for generations and I guess they can't do that. They just can't do that because the kickbacks are too sweet, it's probably exactly what's going on. When something doesn't make sense, always follow the money. Someone's always running off with the bag, always. They want to say shoplifting is wrong or I'll tell you what the amount of rank theft and unlawful acquisition that goes on behind closed doors is at an industrial scale. I guess local street level dumbass Pigs and lawmakers and regulators only care about street level so-called crime, not where the real crime happens which is always behind closed doors usually in the halls of government, in partnership with these white collar predators just like this.
