Thanks for the ProPublica article on Entergy. Public utilities shouldn’t be privatized as for-profits. It’s a monopoly and usually a necessity and cutting corners is a notorious thing for profit-seekers and also self-dealing plus too much emphasis on stock prices and dividends. It’s not a good combination especially when the poor need equal access to the good or service provided. That’s the purpose of public utilities.
