There was really no need to call someone a goddamned thug just for doing their job and then proceed to lecture them on the all the ways their cartel...ahem, I mean "company" exploits people for greedy and unchecked financial gain.

Even if said company is - and they are - guilty of grossly overcharging for something that is a human right and therefore not only should be accessible and free of charge to all, but also places an unfair financial burden on those of less means, there are more productive ways of dealing with your outrage, lol.

(You know, even if they can charge whatever they want because they are a totally illegal MONOPOLY and the only viable alternatives are completely financially out of reach to a person even of average or slightly above average income - and even if said monopoly is run by the company (who is also the city government) who also controls the ZONING and PERMITS and therefore can restrict any alternatives in order to protect their CONFLICT OF INTEREST).

So even if I wasn't "technically" incorrect, I still behaved like a pedantic, condescending, sanctimonious ass today. And I can do better than that. But, I didn't yell; I never even raised my voice!

So that's something, right?
