And I have a real problem with people who own/run corporations that they don't keep up to date with the infrastructure, because then it causes all kinds of problems, and guess who gets stuck with the bill to clean it up? that's right, WE do. So how is that in any way capitalism? Hmmmm? They keep the profits, we pay to clean up the mess, and after that they hike up their prices so they make even MORE money, and it's for something they didn't even pay for or have to do themselves. It makes me sick. (doesn't make any sense? I'm kinda out of it this morning.)
