The people pushing all this impoverishing insanity are not affected by the results. They can diddle with and destroy the lives of others, millions of them, without feeling the pain and with aggrandizing their own fortunes into the bargain. “Other” people are nothing more than pieces to be moved and sacrificed on the gameboard of their own power and enrichment.
I’m willing to bet the vocal pushers as you call them, are masking (no pun intended) the real culprits who enjoy even more status than the pushers.
The link below covers the power failure in Texas. Lots of interesting comments. One issue for Texas is they have literally made their state a power island. Well, PR knows the consequences of being an island in need of power with an emergency. I was going to include some paragraphs about the flaws of deregulation, and one city with fewer problems because it is connected with either the west or east US power grids. However that story has now dissappeared from my computer. One significant problem is that windmills are not protected for extreme cold, unlike those in Iowa or North Dakota which are. And the wind energy was needed to enable the natural gas functions to work, and related issues where water froze stopping power infrastructure. This issue and the reaction to “Cancun Cruz” is likely to shift the Texas vote more into the Dem. camp next election.
I coould have sworn I entered my link on Texas power. Maybe it has disappeared for good. Will try again.
