pschearer, when you say “shouldn’t be doing”, what do you mean? You mean, you think it’s not right that they’re doing it, or are you saying you believe there are laws that prevent them from doing it but they’re doing it anyway?
Far as I know, any government may start any sort of company they want. The only downside being competition for the industry. There are no laws that outright forbid that.
The upside being you’re no longer dependant on the whims of the industry and their insane pricing and backdoors and underhanded business tactics etc…
@MisngNOLA: the shooting in the foot is an obvious joke and reference to the saying “shooting yourself in the foot”, which is exactly what’s happening here. They shot themselves in the foot, believing they’d end up better than before.
