What an insult to someone who has taken on the responsibility of raising a child. Of course they should be called parents. A man doesn’t adopt a son only to be called his “child raiser”. Stop this foolish line of thought.

It's amazing to me that people in this thread still don't understand free markets. You are free to use Android, or Amazon phone. Or Graphene. Or one of the many others.

I’m convinced SDGE is the most hated company in the country. The southeast is so much cheaper for electricity.

I’d prefer this done privately as has been done before; different set of tradeoffs but ones I prefer, namely people getting options.
