Paying the utility bills, buying food is not.

I agree. I just got a notice of a rate increase request from my electric company. I'm pissed off about it, but I'm pissed off about it because we haven't built a new nuclear power plant 30 years, not at the utility companies. I could find the other 123 companies on the fortune 500 that make a higher margin (or whatever it is....I think that was the ranking of Exxon in terms of profit margin last year) and discuss each one and the impact on those affected by them, but the point stands that 7.6% is not a high profit margin.

I must have missed where you showed the source for the 7.6% profit margin. Regardless of the profit margin, they are making record breaking profits.

I'd like to see something adjusted for inflation. Much like movie sales records being broken, prices change.
