They'll have Disneyland San Juan in the first decade and their entire history and culture will be destroyed.

They're not getting away with that. You can steal a cookie from the jar here and there, but they took all the cookies. And aside from that, they used a Democrat Party tactic of trying to change people's behavior by making it too expensive to do what they normally would do. The middle of that catastrophe is not the time to be fucking around like that.

Quote:"But the fact that these same plants went offline in normal weather (for June) means their problems go beyond insufficient weatherization for freezing temperatures and perhaps reveals an underlying lack of sufficient maintenance," Jones said. "It suggests (the plants') maintenance standards are inferior to what should be the norm." Wholesale prices on the deregulated ERCOT power market soared last month when it appeared electricity was in short supply relative to demand. The price shot up to $1,828.65 per megawatt-hour on June 13 and $1,952.86 on June 14 after topping out at $31.52 on June 11.

It is not actually capitalism, although it does involve money. It is a very simple and straightforward swindle that the governor of Texas is permitting to run. Both natural gas and electricity were being regulated to benefit the customers, but since George Bush became governor, all of his successors have regulated gas and electricity to NOT benefit the customers.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Oh. These are the honest jobs then.If you knew the Texas natural gas business, and the people who work in it, they see absolutely nothing wrong with natural gas selling for $3 per million British thermal units a couple of weeks before the storm soaring above $1,000 per million British thermal units, shattering records. There was a time when the governor of Texas would NOT allow that price change, which did NOT increase production even tiny bit. But nowadays, gas producers can lie their heads off and claim they had to raise the price or else no natural gas would flow. Again, the gas producers are lying, but the lies are a convenient justification to raise prices for people who don't know how the Texas natural gas business works.

What is an honest job to a Leftist Elitist?Honest work involves NOT lying and NOT cheating and NOT being incompetent. You aren't doing honest work when you lie and cheat and perform poorly to make more money. I kind of noticed, with about a thousand personal experiences in construction, that the so-called "honest" American workers doing "honest" work aren't honest in the least unless there is somebody who will fire them if they are dishonest. It is not really conducive for a harmonious workplace until the dishonest craftsmen who are crooks, liars, thieves and incompetent are culled. Once those worthless Trump-voting bastards have been terminated, things run smoothly and happily for the other workers.

Quote:Originally posted: Freezing temps heading for Texas could result in gas shortfalls this week, Houston pipeline company Kinder Morgan warned its customers. It's actually a warning that price gouging may happen. Temperatures in some areas of the Permian Basin could dip into the teens overnight Thursday, which may result in so-called freeze-offs, when liquid inside a well freezes and halts natural gas production. Last year, supply shortages contributed to a power crisis during February’s winter storm, when equipment froze and 51,173 megawatts of the state’s 82,513 megawatts of generation capacity was forced offline. Kinder Morgan generated about $1 billion in excess profits during the last shortage by selling much-needed gas at sky-high market rates and looks forward to more excess profits this year.
