Boycotts only ever work when ONLY A FEW out of many are making obscenely-excessive profits and/or price gouging The Public mercilessly. When MOST ALL are in-cahoots at greedily ripping-off The Public at every opportunity, boycotting one or two corporate thieves OUT OF MANY,...is absolutely worthless.
Want something done, put governmental feet to the fire, since there are a multitude of governmental beaurocrats, lawyers, agencies and regulators up-the-wazoo....whose sole jobs (supposedly?) are to protect The Public from large scale corporate rip-offs in general.
Besides, and since all paid for by The Public, doesn't anyone else think it absurd that so many lawyers waste there time (OUR MONEY also) on the likes of Microsoft instead? No matter what Microsoft did (or didn't do), such only effected their competitors and/or other corporate giants.
Thusly, and since all oaths in government are taken to protect US, and since The People pay quite dearly so these agencies can protect US,...why-the-hell don't those Public Hirelings (ie. Public Servants) merely do what The Public pays them to do for US?
Sure, "They" always fail miserably or simply shrug-off The Utilities' rip-offs as inconsequential and/or the typical excuse called: "Supply & Demand". Great surprise at normally cold winters and normally hot summers being the excuse for such corporate theivery aside, SO WHAT? Now's a good chance to finally get it right,...with The Gasoline Gouging. Besides, the lawyers don't even have to be: "Clarence Darrows" to prosecute such obvious thieveries.
I've no doubt whatsoever that ANYONE fresh out of Law School could easily convict the greedy price-fixers of such a great necessity, which effects everyone.
