In Texas, you can subscribe to any one of at least a dozen, maybe more, power providers. In reality they are all middlemen of the original power company, though. (Not sure if you can still subscribe to the original power company–but the original power company is still who you call if the power goes out.)
In PA it’s kind of the other way around – you subscribe to one of various power companies and the distribution is managed by the original power companies.
It’s all a sham, though. I used to work for the local electric company in the power trading division as their I.T. guy. The traders would buy and sell power with anybody they could get the best deal with. In the end there’s no way to tell where your power is actually coming from.
I think it’s not the opposite, but the same. The original power company is the one who actually provides the power and maintains the infrastructure, and hence is who you call when the power goes out, and who sends the repair crews out. But we pay someone else. Sham indeed.
It’s not clear to me whether then competition for retail business has actually lowered prices. I think it has, but it’s hard to tell. And there are several markets across Texas where no new company is attempting to compete with the original power company.
I am convinced Trump’s goal in the first debate was not to debate, everyone already knows his platform, his goal was to get Joe angry, nobody has seen Joe angry. And when Trump did that Joe outed the Left – Trump actually told Joe what he had done (giving us the actual goal) “You just outed the Left”. Trump made Biden completely change positions and out the far Left Progressives – That was the goal.
You should go back and watch the debate knowing what Trump’s goal was, it will shock you to see how effective he actually was, even though it appears Trump is being ineffective and petty.
As to the pictures, much as how you are a wonderful subject, etc., I remember when you first introduced Natasha to us viewers you showed some of her pre-Whittle pics. Any interest in selling copies of those for fund raising?
Aside from being spectacular and interesting they are a great conversation starter- especially for those who need to know more about Bill and his cohorts.
Every Thursday that I remember to check, no Bill…Every Thursday that I forget to check, yes Bill. Makes me sad.
That the DOJ has not acted, proves they are part and parcel of the deep state. For years now, I have been saying if not now, when? The answer has always been the 12th of never but maybe not even then.
The scam will continue to and beyond the 30th of never. As things stand, the 60% of government that should be in Federal prison will never face anything but the momentary discomfort of having to hide their corrupt actions.
Pure poetry. 🙂
I want to clarify the statistic I mentioned in the live comment stream which Bill referenced. It applies to Texas only. These statistics are from the Texas Secretary of State.
Another interesting statistic is that in Texas, the number of early voters has already exceeded the total number of votes in 2016:
The breakdown of in-person early voters and voters by mail is interesting too:
Only one day later, and another 659,396 votes have been cast in Texas, bringing the percentage of registered voters up to 57%!! There are some counties in Texas where the percentage is approaching 70%.
I haven’t yet found any readily-available statistics from the Texas Secretary of State showing historical turnout percentages for comparison. (They have the totals, but I’m too lazy to do the percentage calculations.) But it sounds like we are on our way to the highest voter turnout in history by a very large margin.
The right to vote should be based upon your having real skin in the game. This means proof that you will be held to the laws you support and that you will personally feel the bite of that law in a very substantial way. You cannot properly vote away other people’s rights. You can only abandon your own rights.
If all you contribute to the universe is only the fact you breath, eat and excrete, is not having skin in the game. If that is all you do, for whatever reason, you should not be allowed to vote any more than a rat or cockroach should be allowed to vote. PERIOD.
Stop playing their game means stop feeding them. Go Galt to the core – pull the plug. Let it go. The pain will last at most a month. After that, the way is clear. Until that is done, forget it. The downward path is locked in.
Democrats don’t care that what they do is insane and ultimately totally destructive. No matter what they say, that is exactly what they want. They want the end of freedom, liberty, and technological civilization Their joy is your suffering even if it means they and all life on earth becomes extinct.
