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!”

Let's see, your tribe tends to believe the government can save them from everything, make them all rich, and solve every problem in the world.
The other tribe tends to believe government is, at best, a necessary evil, completely inept, and they want nothing more than to be left alone.
Guess which tribe is dying when the systems in place go down for a few days.
