"We should allow companies that provide what is almost a necessity in the modern world the power to decide who gets to use it and who doesn't" is a hell of a take.
While we're at it, I don't think thieves deserve clean water. Utilities companies should shut off the water supply to households where thieves live.
To households where they suspect thieves live, but without any legal determination of such
If you don't nip it in the bud, it's going to be really hard to close that Pandora's box.
Once we allow utilities, power, water, telephone, internet. To have opinions about who they can service, then you're going to have a very dystopian civilization. Poor credit score? Can't get on the internet. You voted for the wrong political candidate? No Comcast for you. Don't believe in Scientology? Sorry we only offer dial-up in your area
Allowing discretion by utility providers, public services, is not only a bad precedent, it's a clear and present danger for everyone who has enemies which is everyone.
