Megacorprations should be fined $10 bn everytime they suggest poor people should give up or reduce their need for basic necessities of life.

Here's an idea, how about megacorps go without their fucking tax loopholes for a year or two? Use that money to pay for heating and cooling every single home in Australia for a decade.

@StarkRG Very much this, I honestly think we should have laws in place that make it illegal for basic necessity companies to raise prices as long as they are still profitable.

@StarkRG Or at least, a certain percentage of profitable.

Few things enraged me more last winter seeing the energy companies make record profits while using the invasion of Ukraine as an excuse to raise the prices for their customers.

@ainmosni Utilities *absolutely* need to be heavily regulated if not just wholly owned and operated by the government (which should, of course, be of the people, by the people, but that's a different issue). I'd say that applies to Internet infrastructure at this point too.

@StarkRG Yep, 100% agreed, profit should not be a factor when it comes to people being able to survive and live in society.
