Free the Nation of Lone Star!

we don't need no sensible regulation.

Define sensible- then pass that on to your elected miscreant.

Sensible regulation- SMH- laws (regulations) ALWAYS favor one over another- therefore, having more of them increases the favoritism- it ain't rocket science and it ain't an esoteric pursuit-

Define sensible- then pass that on to your elected miscreant.

"Sensible regulation" is what Texas politicians failed to enact when their power grid failed in the past, thus insuring that it would happen again.

... 2011 when Texas faced a similar energy crisis:​

“Instead of taking any regulatory action, we ended up getting guidelines that were unenforceable and largely ignored in [power companies’] rush for profits...”​

Texas leaders failed to heed warnings that left the state's power grid vulnerable to winter extremes, experts say

Texas officials knew winter storms could leave the state’s power grid vulnerable, but they left the choice to prepare for harsh weather up to the power companies — many of which opted against the costly upgrades. That, plus a deregulated energy market largely isolated from the rest of the...

Progs love to use the things they have engineered and end up careening out of control against people that disagree with them. So back fifty years ago as compared to today. What is a main difference as to an individual or family surviving? And today we have more ways because of the Progressive Socialist agendas. Back then I do not know the percentage of government pay out to the average American. But we had a balanced budget and state, local and city taxes were massively lower. Today the average is 27% and rising of government assisting the total income of every individual up to family and everything else Progressives have invented. The real tax rate is at least half and this is being kind. So you Progs bring up the government giving out the money issue all the time. The truth is without it most of you would be secondary people un real life living. You see, acquiring the power is one thing, managing the government is another. The people of Cuba were so proud in the 1950's when they beat the corrupted people in power back then. Things were going to be great. Then Castro and the boys took over and reality hit them in the face. People want to leave. They do not want to stay. In piecemeal in the richest nation of the world Progs have done this. The relief valve is that the Prog American citizens leave their infected areas and move to the areas you laugh at and turn the into what you believe is so superior. All the ghettos in those areas I just do not understand.

Admittedly, social enterprises struggle to find the right formula. However, the other reality is that for every such struggle you can evidence, I can show examples of authoritarian backwaters that are far worse.

I'm always a bit amused by red states who want to secede. My general attitude being that there's the fucking door, take your teat-sucking enterprise and go. FACT: almost all red states receive more in federal grants, welfare, jobs and economy then they pay in federal taxes. Go ahead and leave, but don't plan on being a world power. Good grief, without punishing their infrastructure and diet, The United Red States of America couldn't raise an army. Of course, they'd have their pot bellied militia.

Texas is a bit of an exception. I credit them with being a break-even operation (on the flow of money from fed to state and back). But then, we've just seen the impact of regulatory savings.

Wow.... that's a toughie.... coexist with filthy fucking animals or shoot them in the face when they're trying jump the border at Texarkana... I'll take B.

Your stuttering fuck brought a whiff of shit into my beloved Texas yesterday. He was on fire! Gosh how can we possibly leave THIS behind. We can still laugh and point at that crayon-eating, window-licking mother fucker... it will just be a foreigner to us. Win-Win!

 

[BLUE COLLAR]

You honestly think Texas would leave alone. Half of America would follow. You get the shitholes you belong in.

Pretending other states would wish to secede is another matter.

Texans only need a gentle nudge.

They were hankerin' sumpthin' fierce fer extending their go-it-alone approach well before their unique power grid and freedom from regulation were so graphically demonstrated.

Good grief...People like you are a negative aspect on the traditions of free thought....While I have no problem with you holding the vile views you do, you on the other hand feel that unless everyone agrees with you they should be silenced, or shunned....pathetic.

Not sure what you're on about.

My support for Texas politicians who have called for extending independence well beyond their energy policy is unwavering, but that is a decision for Texans.

Why would you want to silence or shun anyone pro or con?

 

[schmidlap]

I see envy in the OP- and I wonder why- what does the OP have against Liberty?

You appear to be very confused.

Texas politicians who have been yammering about secession have my unqualified support - if they can convince Texans, admittedly an onerous task in the wake of their self-inflicted, independence-based disaster.

The thought of losing THIS is heart-breaking.... who will lead us??

You miss the point, probably because you spend too much time trying to be clever with personal insults.

The red states don't just take what they give to the fed; they get back a surplus (paid in almost exclusively by blue states who pay more than they receive). Don't take my word. Look it up. It's been true for many years.

Just quit pounding your chest, and go. See who gives a shit.

I think too often it is forgotten that every binding together is at heart a social endeavor for a common good. When that reality is too greatly ignored for too long, someone is taking it in the shorts, and there comes a revolt. It isn't rocket science.
