Boy, that power grind in TX they refused to connect to the national grid because they didn't like all those regulations and that is wholly owned by a private corporation is operating swimmingly this week!
Good thing those those nanny state experts didn't force them to adequately maintain that grid! And it's definitely great that they're unable to import power from, say, Florida right now!
Texas grid fails to weatherize, repeats mistake feds cited 10 years ago
Libertarian paradise!
“No one owes you [or] your family anything,” Tim Boyd, previously mayor of Colorado City, Texas wrote Tuesday in a Facebook post. “I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout!”
Yeah, fuck you and your family! Bootstraps motherfucker, have you heard of them!?!?!?!
The Texas power grid failed mostly due to natural gas. Republicans are blaming wind turbines.
Pass that buck like a true Patriot!

Hmm, calling people "lazy and entitled" when they are in danger of freezing to death due to basic utilities being out? One might think that may not go over very well.
Sounds like the people were stepping up to help each other, unlike the entitled asshole mayor.
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

Nobody will freeze to death unless they are outside, completely exposed, and lightly clothed.
