State-run services are not communism. Don't be obtuse.

Yes.

It works in much of the world. Plenty of places have have government run the power companies.... like, for example, the capital city of California, or the largest city in California (LA). And SF, another major city, is looking into having a municipal power company as well.

I grew up in a small town on the east coast, and we had a municipal electricity company. Service was better and cheaper. And we got discounts on next month's electricity if the company accidentally ran a profit the prior month.

Americans have such a visceral reaction to their own perception of communism they forget that it can work, even in America.

We have state owned electricity company and it's not communism ( very loaded term )
