Reply to A Bill Would Require Insurance Companies To Provide Equal Coverage to Dog Owners by NewsHugh
I don’t understand why this would be a matter for law. If an insurance company wants to change more for something why can they, assuming it doesn’t involve a protected class (which this doesn’t).

It’s not just that. It’s that nothing in New Haven really happens on the water.

Ok a few things - even if that number is accurate, that’s all allergens, not one specific one.
The contains list isn’t a problem. That’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about changing food to accommodate, or banning certain things, or other actions of that nature. We are talking about people not wanting the ingredient in the food because too many contain it.

No, but production facilities that don't deal with it at all *are* niche.
That might be a slight exaggeration but not by a lot. The facility would have to be set up specifically for this.

Well, no, because the analogy makes no sense. One impacts everyone, one doesn't. So why make it at all if that 'goes without saying'.

Sort of. On an individual level you’re right. On a societal level is where the debate comes in. People can die from a lot of unique things. That doesn’t mean society “bends over” for them. In the majority of cases, they have to accommodate society rather than the other way around.
The question is where does it become societal problem - how many people does it need to impact - before that switches.

Yes, but now you’re into niche production.

Yeah, this came out last month.
If companies are responsible for unintentional trace allergens then it’s easier to make it intentional and give notice.

I actually think they are one of the better ones now, but I do agree there was no need to change them and I have a soft spot in my heart for my old ones.

Reply to comment by KirkCouzins in Why aren't more traffic tickets written? by cmndo
I could go for more tickets for things like red lights and double parking and such. What I don't care about is the speeding tickets everyone is always more obsessed with. To me it's more about how someone's driving than how fast someone's driving, but this are harder tickets to issue so get ignored.

In the context in which your question was asked, it’s an open market. You asked why, given the same generation bundle, some offer lower prices than others. The answer is that they can price as desired since it’s an open market, for that segment of the vertical market.

>how can Constellation offer a 13 to 17 cent rate while Eversource is allowed to double its rate to 24 cents!
I'm not really sure I understand this question. It's an open market. Eversource has a somewhat higher rate than alternative suppliers because lazy and/or risk adverse people will stick with them. They maintain an X% buffer, constellation cuts it finer. That's the entire point of a [sort of] deregulated marketplace.

Even if that was entirely true, it doesn't change the statement. The school set requirements. She didn't follow them.

What happened? She failed to follow school requirements.

I'm not sure why this article exists other than that some people have decided schools haven't always had medical requirements.

You said why should we be hostage to their rates. The why is because generation is not their job. Delivery is what we pay them for. I’m not sure what your question is otherwise.

I don’t think you understand how the energy sector works. Eversource is like UPS - they deliver the product. They don’t make it. Does that mean UPS isn’t important? Of course they are.

That’s not really relevant. Solar isn’t the only power source. But it does help reduce the need for others.
Gas isn’t going away in the foreseeable future. But other types of power production can reduce the need for it, especially at off peak times.
