While I ...I watched the link that 8:29/8:30 posted. While I probably would agree with her on many things if we sat down and chatted, the whole Trumpist CULTure of this program turns me off. From the duct tape over Pence's name on the campaign sign behind Mr. Pritchard (which intentional or not suggests he supports the "hang Mike Pence" chants during the Jan 6 "event", or at least the "spirit" of that "disappointment", and by her being on the show she must support as well) and her inspiration being the misinformation of the past election, is all a "no" for reasonable center-right folks. So, our polarized politics is reaching down to (as the host advocated) local elections. Former GOP may be somewhat "homeless" but in the bigger picture I predict Trumpist GOP will do quite well in the short run, while killing the party in the long run... win the battles, lose the war, and our local Generals are leading the way.Ovem Lupo Commiterehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756533892368983383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-24099371546417162952021-02-23T23:49:32.229-05:002021-02-23T23:49:32.229-05:00You're a real comedian, aren't you?

Power companies chose to turn off the power through rolling blackouts on their grid in states as far away as Kansas and Missouri. It seems the wild stallion free market of a fungible commodity (natural gas) ran smack into the wall of controlled rates and public utility commissions in the heavily regulated electricity distribution business. The logical solution is some middle ground.
