Texas should have basically free electricity because they have unlimited natural gas but instead they have one of the weakest grids in the country


Same thing goes for Louisiana tbh

Guaranteed brownouts/blackouts on the horizon.

Don't they have the same problem in the Utopia of Cuba ?

She probably didn't have electricity in Mexico so it's no big deal. So rolling brown outs will be better than she had it.

That’ll be funny to see in a deregulated market with freedom to chose laws.

They have elected AOC's sister. Dumber than a box of rocks.

She wants to tax the crap out of and piss off Musk too who employs thousands of her voters in Austin. I guess he should cut their wages by 5 % everytime she opens her mouth, then lay them all off eventually and move his businesses to another state.

Price controls?

Sounds exactly like the thing a DSA change agent would propose.

Yeah no kidding

I don't think people outside of TX would really know what you're talking about but the logistical hurdles around that would be a nightmare

If I were him, I would. Why would you want to employ voters and politicians who don’t want you with many of whom are openly calling for your investigation

But but but…they said she’s not DSA

The timeline for them to show true colors is going to be much shorter than I thought

And it won’t be long before buyer’s remorse sets in

Musk needs to move all of his businesses to Louisiana but mandate that all of his employees commute from their domiciles in deep blue Texas!
