Privatisation means that private (and very large and potentially trans-national) companies can profit off essential services like drinking water.
The water companies own the drains as well as the pipes. A few years ago I got an unusually high water bill and when I checked the details I saw they were charging me for drainage more than the actual water supply. When i called them up to enquire, i received a convoluted reply which as far as I could tell means they charge people for drainage according to the amount of rainfall and size of the property….Someone actually thought to charge for the sewers according to how much water drains off your property…Imagine that.

After strongly complaining that the amount on the bill was extraordinary and could not be correct, they actually “revised” the bill and halved the charge (which was still high).

Off course its a good thing. Its obvious its a good thing.

There will always be nuances in the perception of things, but the important thing is that basic facts can be and are agreed upon. That we mutual strive toward understanding of what is.

Wow so interesting reading everyone’s comments on this. I live in France, you have posted about Rhode Island ( is that the USA?) and someone above has posted abour Oregon. We have all been forced into it. What about payment methods? Banks in the UK are now asking customers to scantheir faces. ( Haven’t done it yet). The local authorities in France make you do everything online and they make you give them your bank a/c details. I don’t like it at all. Smae with loads of other companies in France ( telecomms/ internet). Thye make you give them your bank a/c details. I am pretty sure there is no other choice. I paid by cheque for years and resisted all the pressure form the former supplier to switch to paying by abnk a/c …then I had to get rid of them cos they were just too crap. Looked for another provider and as far as I can rememebre there was NO option of paying by cheque.They’re all linked up I reckon- local authorities, telecomms and energy cos

If you keep asbestos in solid form, asbestos is one of the most healthy materials you can use in your home, and it protect your kids!

Only if you jig-saw in asbestos, or in wood, or breath sand corn into your lungs frequently laying on the beach every day, asbestos similar present a health risk over longer term.

Otherwise asbestos is good and the nice guy. https://baxtergroupinc.com/asbestos-affect-health/
