What is being laid bare for all to see is that our humanity must come first. Economic systems are here to serve people, people not here to serve economic systems. Texas state govt put privatization & deregulation before the safety of its citizens; the people now reap the results.

Deregulation drives down costs. CA price per KWh = 19.2 cents, Tx = 11.5 cents. That means my electricity is 40% cheaper every month. That’s money in every citizens pocket
