Tonight (again!), he offers ignorant, wild-eyed fear mongering… on energy rationing (which he considers “socialism”) — across the pond.
But here at home, he ignores that Texas provides corporate welfare, in the form of transfer payments to large businesses, that drive sky-rocketing prices per kWh that residential consumers (most of limited means) must pay.
In many cases, during increasingly frequent cold snaps, the price reaches over $3,000 in a month, to heat a home. So, GOP Texas (and MAGA Gov. Abbott) gets to the same socialist state of affairs as the UK — but gives the gravy to energy hogging Bitcoin miners.
In sum — John has met his boogeyman: it’s his own political party, and parasitic capitalism on energy — right here (in Texas).
Sheesh.
