That reminds of how ignorant some people can be about economics.

Background: the condo that I live in has the fees for the water in the monthly
assocition fee.

Our city had a large factory that needed clean water.  It made more than it
needed and, so, let the city buy the extra water.  But that factory is gone and
the city had to create its own water treatment facility.

So, one year, the water fee went up a great deal.  When the announcement was
made (and it was made a few months BEFORE the fee went up), we were told that
the city was charging us more and the association was passing on those
increases to us.  They even included the calculations to show how each unit
went up, announcement from the city, etc.

It was amazing how many people were mad at the association because someone else
raised the cost of water.
