General North Texas is getting lake effect snow.

@CornPop sounds like power producers have been maybe lying......

" Patrick said the focus right now is on the gas market and addressing the bills people are having or will have to pay. He said since the last hard freeze in 2011, ERCOT and other state energy officials had been telling them they were prepared for a winter storm like what happened last week. "

I guess they need some more government oversight.
 
Being as the judicial system is the state...



Yes.


Lol. Dude is as dumb as a brick. And you are engaging him in 16 year old level conversation.

Fool me once. And fool.... Me. Once. you get the idea.

As another braniac from merica might have said.

That was one of the greatest quotes in political history and you managed to butcher it. Please stop.

But seriously, don't be such a dick.

seriously. I butchered it on purpose.

and I will always jump in when he retards more than normal out of respect to my mate who he constantly attacks.

You are a great white knight though.
 
Who is your mate that he constantly attacks?

seriously?


ok. I will bite. @Lou Dog

if I or any other member constantly gave the abuse he gives this member to him we would be pinked. In fact I have been. Calling someone a retard every time they post is usually a pink flag.

but same rules don’t apply for some reason.

If someone is being a dick, and you hit report. The mods will (depending on context) do something about it. If you decide to fight fire with fire, you're on your own.

You've been pinked because you go after people who don't reciprocate the abuse. Your mate however engages in tit for tats.
 
....then why bring up socialism?

You asked if there was only one system where people are held to account. There is not.

One system involves the free market which would be people taking their business elsewhere and the company going bankrupt. The other involves the state sticking it's big stately nose in to make sure everyone is doing what they state has decided is right. This is both what you're advocating for and a form of socialism. Personally, I think you're correct in thinking they're they right ones to deal with this situation. But your stance on energy runs directly counter to your previous stance on how tech businesses should be allowed to conduct themselves. I'm just looking for some consistency.

I don't see Facebook as a utility. So why would I treat it as such?
