Let me explain something to you: your (Texas’) power grid is seen by absolutely fucking everyone as already as ‘deregulated’ as it can fucking be. You don’t have a sleek, vertically-integrated monopoly that controls generation, transmission, and distribution where sane government regulators set the price the profiteers are allowed to charge, like every sane fucking place in the country had before you, Pelosi, and the rest of McConnell’s unwitting, unwitted little serfs got their fucking hands on us. Instead, you have a sprawling, hyperbureaucratic fucking shitshow where a bunch of snotty little LLC asswipes control electrical assets and “compete” with one another to sell electricity to another set of snotty little LLC asswipes who couldn’t care less if your great-aunt freezes to death as long as they get to line their fucking pockets.
