I believe you're a lawyer insofar as you didn't address what you're pretending to address and are sympathetic to the wealthy and powerful. The fact remains that damages can be rationally and provably assessed, as in the given example of a specific process causing net loss. I expect that in court the oil companies will have someone similarly diatribe about oil not being evil, or some other non sequitur that injects moral ambiguity into a straightforward matter. Or pretend that meaningful regulation is an existential threat to an industry you are simultaneously describing as inevitable.

These are a baseless and rambling series of statements having nothing to do with my point that the Executive was at least envisioned as a relatively powerless position, focused on administration. I know your purpose is to muddy the waters and generate outrage but I like responding to things like this as if you were a rational being. Please feel free to make any other observations about me and I'll review them when I have time.

It takes money to do those things. Money is often scarce when one is unemployed. I do agree with your sentiment, and unemployment can be a very different thing depending on whom and where you are. Just thought it bears mentioning that one can manage to make a rent payment and eat on an unemployment check, but in my experience the remainder was not sufficient for use as venture capital. Also, while this is attributable only to my shortcomings, I had a generally bad time during unemployment. It can be a source of great stress, and a Catch-22: I would place it as one of the times in my life I was least likely or able to exhibit the creativity and drive needed to change my situation. Ultimately I did, by being creative and applying myself, but I hardly pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and it took time.

The literal blackout list https://poweroutage.us/ so your stance has become too nebulous and vague to address, not like it wasn't in the first place but before there was misdirection afoot and now I find the bath tepid. The best of luck to you in finding accurate historic blackout averages amongst the three grids, you crazy diamond

So you're asserting that other states could have more blackouts than Texas, overall, over a time period of... The past? And supporting it with an article about how Kansas' attachment to the national grids have already taken them off of the blackout list during this crisis. The only assumption being made is that the evidence supporting your assertion exists, and apparently that others should either find it for you or take your word for it. Again, if I've misunderstood I apologize, but I don't think I have.
