Answer: Republicans.
Pretty much yeah. Texas R's refuse to integrate their grid with the fed one which would add new rules to theirs and mandate upgrades which could lead to less outages.

There is a financial incentive to keep things failure prone, because demand pricing allows them to make the same amount of revenue with whatever (lack of) production is available.
So when only a few neighborhoods still have power they just end up paying for the whole damn city. It’s nuts.
Answer: Americans.
You guys are WILD!
It's literally Republicans though
And the Democrats that let Republicans get away with it.
💯💯
No that’s the non proportional voting system, gerrymandering, and electoral college system that allows the Republicans to get away with it.
Also add in the shit education, money = speech, and late stage capitalism bullshit to get the morons voting that way in the first place.
Wait, are Republicans not Americans?
Not the far right ones; they're celebrating Trump wanting to be "dictator on day one" which is obviously anti-American
At this point, no they really aren't.
Not all of us.
Majority tho? You're a "democracy", no?
The GOP is a minority party. They use tactics like voter suppression, electoral fraud, and gerrymandering to maintain power, despite receiving votes from q shrinking minority of the populace.
You're a "democracy", no?
So, no, not functionally.
