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!

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!”

    Don't blame your state or school district's purchasing decisions on Texas. They could get better books if they weren't cheap. They could have better teachers if they weren't cheap. That's your communities fault.
