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!

“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!”

Those voters are getting all the "free market", Republican "leadership", "deregulation" and "reliable power grid" that they voted for.
I hope they are enjoying their:
* free market
* Republican "leadership"
* deregulation
* "reliable" power grid
Yeah, go ahead. Keep pretending like global warming isn't happening and maybe it will go away. Expect hoter highs and colder lows, every coming year.
