NEW RULE

Compassion trumps commerce.

In Michigan, ninety-three-year-old Marvin Schur died. The cause of death? Hypothermia.

Evidently, Schur possessed adequate money. However, his mind was deteriorating. Bay City Electric Light and Power Company never called. They simply sent a letter. They restricted his power. Now, they will not comment.

Corporations are providers. Customers make payments. Interaction is not the issue. Negligence is not the issue. Adequate compassion is the issue. Assumedly, Schur was an established resident. He was older. Given this, Bay City Electric Light and Power Company should have paused. They should have contacted police. The pair should have coordinated.

Corporations have investors, profits, and responsibilities. They should also have emotions.
