Who told you that?

i saw families speaking to news reporters

i wonder who Morning Joe and ZinZinSki will blame it on

 

[gipper]

^^^^^Our massive government sector can’t even protect the public from gas explosions. How can we expect them to do anything right?

You know damn well.

It is Donnie Tiny Hands’ fault.

 

[Natural Citizen]

You blamed Government and only Government, so what other conclusions should anyone come to?

Just by the fact that government involves and inserts itself where it shouldn't be.

Without government, the monopolies could not exist. Government involvement kills competition.

Get the government out of it so competent, responsible, safety conscious people can compete.

 

[LeeOnLido]

so who owns the gas contractor there? Trump Gas International ?

 

[Valerie]

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency blamed the fires on gas lines that had become over-pressurised but said investigators were still examining what happened.

Columbia Gas had announced earlier on Thursday that it would be upgrading gas lines across the state, including the area where the explosions happened. It was not clear whether work was happening there on Thursday.

Off the Cape and the Islands there are some and a bunch more being built.

The house that blew up and crushed that poor kid with the chimney had solar panels. Look at the pics from the news.

Unfortunately, what would happen in the real world is that without government interceding to make sure utilities we need to survive are safe and priced within our reach, things would not go well for consumers. Complete capitalism cannot work as long as humans control things.

 

[Anathema]

Yet another example of government's failure to do it's job.

You do realize that while the DPU regulates gas utility companies, they don’t run those companies, right?

Columbia Fas is a PRVATE company.

 

[Anathema]

No. Gas companies are monopolies which are supposed to be regulated by the huge omnipresent and most expensive and inefficient GOVERNMENT.

Regulated by, not run by. There’s a major difference.

OMG how did humans even survive for 10,000 years without government. /sarcasm

Martha's Vinyard will need windmills to.
