Johnson Whines On, And On — About His Electricity Service?! In RED States, 223 DEAD — Froze To Death In A Week, In Texas: Feb. ’21.

So… hey, Scott — the people of Texas (in the ice storm of February 2021), and the people of Louisiana (Katrina, Irma, etc.)… and the people of Florida (any number of storms and building collapses)… would like a word. [Funny. All those power disasters were… yep. red states. California may be the only outlier, here.]

You whine because some of your frozen steaks might have thawed. Your “family plans” were disrupted. Get thee to the fainting couch!

Seriously, it is all good sport, for old farts to complain about the utility services they receive. I get it. You’re an old fart. Your power was out for what? Two days, give or take?

That is normal in a spring heavy snowfall, breaking powerlines. Not a Democratic or Republican issue. Sh!t happens. Buy a generator, if you are so vexed. Run it on gasoline, on your back porch. Learn how to plug it into your home system. [Stow the whole she-bang away, in your detached garage — so as not to blow your house to kingdom-come, on a hot summer day.]

You can afford it.

I guess though (as you by now may surmise), I have very little compassion for you and John (break out the tiny violins!) as all of Powerline was deadly silent when the direct Gov. Abbott energy policies (never reformed, since Enron in 2000!) in Texas KILLED 223 in February 2021.

These people froze to death, because Texas ERCOT charged them over $15,000 for a month of electricity. $15,000 — for seniors on Medicaid — many already suffering debilitating diseases. They were house-bound. Unable to go to shelters to warm up. The power was out for seven days and nights.

They froze to death — alone on their floors — in large glassy pools of ice (due to burst / frozen water pipes, as well).

That was a conscious policy choice of the GOP in Texas — to let oil and gas legacy family wealth gouge consumers when electricity was in high demand — like during an ice storm. And to let Bitcoin miners (for example, very large consumers of electricity) CHARGE the grid $125 million in cash — for NOT turning on their rigs.

Yet you morons were… nowhere to be found on the issue.

Some “responsible” energy advocates you all are.

Hinderaker couldn’t get out of his long driveway — you had a defrosted steak.

DAMN, son.

Sit down.
