Images of Thom
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
What is your solution if utilities were not operated for profit? I know some communities own their own utilities. Where I live, the electric company is a cooperative; however, we buy from an even larger cooperative who constantly upgrades equipment which means the cost is passed onto us.
What is your solution outside of Federal control which I would be opposed to.
There should not be a profit motive in anything that is for the commons, utilities,broadband,public transit etc.
