Funny. Their electric grid is also ran by corrupt buffoons. Almost like there's a running theme here, but only one state is proud of that corruption...
Hey person I am against corruption as much as anyone. All human systems are corruptible and we need to be realistic. To think that “they” are being malicious is probably not correct. I don’t think the many thousand of people involved in the power industry laugh about people dying in extreme weather. Nor the ones at the top. They believe a free market for energy has benefits that outweigh the negatives. If anyone has evidence of real corruption I will gladly pick up my pitchfork and join the party. There are bad apples in almost every bunch and should be rooted out.
You are literally braindead or a mouth piece of corporations. Grow up and get CEO dick out of your mouth.
Got nothing left but to call me names? Cheers man and good luck, you probably need it
