MessageWhereas having unregulated business control over vital resources leads to exploitation and profiteering at the expense of the average hardworking Jelbanian family. If the state has control there is accountability and it is possible to prevent exploitation. If the state has no say in the matter, there is no accountability whatsoever.

MessagePrivatization leads to competition between different companies and therefore to lower prices a state monopoly leads however to a high price for consumer; which is better?

ToDebating the State Energy Bill
MessageThat describes the perfect scenario. However as we have no regulation currently, what is more likely, businesses competing and reducing their profits, or businesses forming cartels to ensure that they can rip off the consumer? Which is more likely, the human desire for greater profits, or a desire to benefit the consumer?
