don’t have much choice over paying the electric bill, for example, but I want to make sure I’m not paying a whole set of electric bills each month.
Ummm...what? What is “a whole set of electric bills”? This is such a stupid example. Besides which, people who don’t value paying for electricity go off-grid or install solar panels or whatever. I don’t especially like paying electric bills each month, but since I DO like having heat and air conditioning, washing my clothes by machine, and keeping my perishables cold continuously, I accept the contract of conventional electrical power delivery.
