That worked out very well for Texas, didn t it Cog?
Let s pretend Texas SCREWING UP and having no decent regulation, backup plan, etc. to prevent the fiasco which had shown multiple signs of being a problem in other cold snaps in recent decades, means there s no place for free markets.
In reality, the way it works in the first world 99% of the time is a combination of competitive markets AND a modicum of regulation, and while imperfect, the system generally works reasonably well over time. It s called balance, and Texas and Texans should learn about the concept. ....
