I mean, to be fair, I don't want to pay any of that either. If I could get away with not paying anything while getting all the benefits of paying, then I would, but im not an absolute moron so I pay my taxes and bills.
I don't know, maybe I'm a weirdo, but I don't actually want stuff for nothing. If I'm getting something from you, I want you to get something in return that makes it worth your while. I don't want you to rip me off, but I want you to be able to live off of what you provide me and others. Of course, I also want to be able to earn enough doing what I do to be able to afford to pay you for what you do.
This is about utilities, if someone doesn't think the often privatized, often monopoly utilities aren't spending every penny and second trying to squeeze you I don't know what to tell em
This isn't about a fair barter for fresh cow milk and the associated labor at the community market
I'm using my utilities and though not cheap, the costs don't seem outlandish to me. I have no basis for saying I should be able to use my utilities without paying for them.
