So you don't have electricity at home?
- psd1 3y agoNot to invalidate your point, but some countries have the concept of "utility" defined in law. This adds a bunch of gates that must be passed before the provider can cut service. Your power can only be cut after months of non-payment and not, e.g., because you are racist to their worker. Also, the power going out doesn't break your legacy door locks.

- ricardobayes 3y agoThese are pretty interesting. Here in Spain by law they can't disconnect you (not even for non-payment) if you have medical equipment like CPAP. https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/ciudadanos/consumidores/conexion-servicios/electricidad.html https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo...
- albertopv 3y agoI don't need electricity to enter my house. Anyway, I was talking about full control, not basic services. Of course I can't do everything alone, being forcibly closed out of my house is clearly another issue.
