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!

So you don't believe in holding people accountable for their actions?
45 denied aid to Americans, Biden immediately sent aid to Texas.
Texas GOP deregulated and privatized their energy grid resulting in the failures leading to this crisis, but we shouldn't blame them?
DeathMonkey vs. Reality? More like DeathMonkey and Reality rolling over the ignorance of GQP idiots.

Lol if you think it has anything to do with accountability. People like DeathMonkey, presumably yourself, couldn't care less about accountability. It's all just tribal shit flinging, not all that different than a bunch of... well, monkeys. They just want to attack "the other team" and defend "their team". Accountability would entail asking many questions people aren't asking, because they don't care. They just want to score political points. This, in a nutshell, is why the west is failing. In many ways it also directly mirrors why many empires of times past also failed.
