thestraggletag:boazpriestly:angremlin:ms-cellanies:political-fluffle:‘People Are Greedy’: The Absurd Electric Bills Slamming Texanshttps://www.thedailybeast.com/dollar5152-power-bill-texas-winter-storm-hell-only-gets-worse?ref=scrollTexans should file a class action suit against ERCOT, all the power companies, the governor & every member of their state House & Senate. All of them should pay these astronomical electric/gas bills.DON’T PUNISH THE VICTIMS. PUNISH THE PERPETRATORS.Thank god this isn’t twitter so I can say I unequivocally support murdering the people responsible. Don’t worry they probably weren’t smart enough to give cops lower rates no one will stop you.Look at the absolute evilnessWhen I first saw this going around my dash I skimmed through it and thought people were having problems because they were using too much power as a result of the weather (to heat the house, keep the pipes from freezing and so on). Now I read they’re using minimal power but somehow the fucking law of supply and demand applies to electricity??? It isn’t a public utility, subjected to caps and regulatory price control? And no one is at least signing an executive order (like the governor or something) prohibiting the electric companies from increasing prices?There’s capitalism and there’s whatever the US practices. -- source link
