  • Why doesn’t Texas connect to the federal US power grid? It certainly isn’t freedom for its customers.

    a Houston homeowner, didn’t have to touch her thermostat to pitch in. Her utility company remotely shut off her air conditioner nine times that day as part of a power-saving strategy

    9 times a day? I get annoyed at setting the oven microwave clocks each time but 9 times would be too much. And each day! That’s not freedom that Texas wants - they want to keep a deliberately bad grid away from federal inspection that would require the company to spend money on upgrading and updating their shit.


  • The Bush family has always been more about money than nations. Look at their close relation with the house of Saud. This is the connection behind the conspiracy “9/11 was an inside job”. The guys who ran each country were close friends despite the deep connection between the terrorists and the Saudi government.

    Not all rich families are bad but the ones that are usually have privately owned businesses that they treat like their own little empire. Koch and their Georgia Pacific stuff is a good example. Or the Mercers and their subversive tech fuckery like Cambridge Analytica. Right wing money will always find a way to perpetuate suffering because they don’t know how to make something people like - they make things people will need and then plunge the world into suffering to drive up that need.
