@ctrl.alt.delete.7045 A capitalist is a capitalist regardless of nationality. This video is brought to you by Chinese capitalist who are rivals to the CCP the NEW TANG DYNASTY. Note how they promise a free market will lower prices. You don't believe bosses want lower prices for you? For them yes but for you? No this is just a scam video to get you mad at the CCP while not telling you the real truth which is the bosses were unprepared because they don't want to invest in any new equipment for extra capacity. It's just not as profitable as gambling on Wall street with hedge fund money. They need a subsidy before they do anything now anyway. One group cries because another is getting more. Of course they tell you a free market lower prices and fixes everything. It's part of capitalist propaganda. "Free markets" fix everything until they don't. Their idea of a free market is WalMart where they can control as much of commerces and trade as a monopoly actor possible can. They set the price of labor, the price they are willing to pay the supplier and the price you pay them. Who wouldn't want a situation like that.

@hitreset0291 It's a great example of Republican purity of ideological leadership. They get to claim both state rights power because ERCOT is a Texas only entity and small government whatever that suppose to mean along with a free market sending out humongous utility bills. The also get to beat their chests for "Texas" Energy independence. A state with the biggest of everything including energy production of both wind and fossil fuels goes dark.
2
@georgegeorge6887 You can't easily import power to ERCOT because it is not synced to either the Western or Eastern Interconnect. If the whole national grid were synced then power like wind could always be available because massive low and high pressure areas across the continent would mean the wind always blows somewhere. Overall transporting power is cheaper than mass generation. This is basically a failure of the private profit system where individual power generators control production and reliability.

@feebeedee You don't believe that BS about how free markets are going to lower prices and taxes do you? The Electric monopoly wants a free market? How naive are you? They want higher prices any way possible. Does your electric bill ever go down?
2
@ctrl.alt.delete.7045 A capitalist is a capitalist Chinese or American. This video is sponsored by THE NEW TANG DYNASTY a rival group of Chinese capitalists. Note how they say a free market will lower prices. You don't believe the bosses want lower prices do you? When was the last time your electric bill went down?

@ellyreginald6546 Because bosses only care about making a Yankee dollar.

@somedandy7694 Screw Jos Biden and his, "Let a thousand flags fly." regime.

@robertabell9182 I'm going to let you in on a secret it make no difference if it's owned by the CCP, Koch Industries, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, John Tang, or George Soros because their loyalty is only to gold and sliver and most of all the biggest profits possible. It make no difference who you vote for when the big donners finance both saying, "May the best man win." since they have both in their pocket. Trump being not a conservative but a populist is what angered the rest of the ruling class. His slaughtering of "sacred cows" is what had them so angry. You don't just call for jaling big time crooked politicians and call the FBI Gestapo head Mueller a witch hunter and get away scott free.

@shelleyzoe8254 The NEW TANG DYNASTY helped pay for what you just watched. They are a rival group of Chineses capitalists. Note how they say the solution is a free market that will lower prices. You don't believe bosses want to lower prices do you? They can't make money in the electrical racket anymore which is why they are investing in sure things like GameStock.
1
@hitreset0291 Bosses can't make big enough profits in the electrical racket anymore. They do better gambling on Wall street with Gamestock and bigger hedge funds. Don't worry though they all went to Cancun even if Ted Cruz had to come back. .
1
@janettermach6189 Actually its the general problem of capitalism in decline when bigger profits can be made elsewhere, along with an anti planning attitude with worship of capitalist chaos caused by business secrets and ought right lies. Both parties are responsible or irresponsible depending on how you view them.
1
@VicknairD Don't kid yourself the CCP is just about as responsible as Putin was for Trump. These are just a rival group of Chinese capitalists looking to make hay when the sun shines. The NEW TANG DYNASTY funds the Epic Times. The Epic Times the New American Thought leaders. Note how free markets are the proposed solution when that is the actual problem. Bosses can't make big enough profits making electricity which is why the system failed. They'd rather invest in Gamestock price manipulations and Wall st Gambling hedge funds.
1
@seasonofthewatchers1010 Bosses blaming other Bosses. This is why we need unions and workers control of industry.
1
@billstonesmith9231 The capitalists are all nationally minded in the end they break up into rival groups of competitors launching Imperialist war to steal what their competition has. They did that twice in the 20th Century as the Democratic Imperialists who launched two world wars. There system goes into crisis as the arrange a better way to steal using market manipulations rather than expanding production and now feeding themselves fiat currency at low or negative interest rates to fill up bank vaults with what will be a worthless fiat currency.
1
@nancycrisman7496 Don't be fooled this is just a video posted by a group funded by rival Chinese Capitalists The NEW TANG DYNASTY. Note how the proposed solution is a free market which is promising lower prices. You don't buy crap as stupid as that do you? Electrical, Gas and Oil production doesn't get them big enough profits which is why they don't invest. They make more money gambling with Wall St hedge funds and other easy steals like the Federal Reserve bank.
1
@nancycrisman7496 At the end of a day a Chinese capitalist is just as greedy as an American one. Gates is the guy crying about all his loss of intellectual property to China because they won't pay him $20 for every copy of Windows. Spys at universities. All they have to do is buy books and read English. You some kind of crazy women waving a flag like Joe Biden and his "Let a thousand flags wave" inauguration. Believe what you want but conspiracy theory only makes for good novels. The real world isn't the Manchurian candidate. A capitalist only cares about getting the biggest return on investment. They live in New Jersey and Connecticut or China. If the lights going out in Texas doesn't directly affect them. If it does then they get on a plane like Ted Cruz and go for a vacation in Mexico or they go skiing. Its a minor inconvenience for them. They have professional managers who make most of the decisions and they live and work here in the US not China. Ted Cruz and Gov Abbot are examples.
1
@nancycrisman7496 American Thought leaders are connected to the Epoch Times and the are financed by the New Tang Dynasty Television and connected with an exercise and religious group the Falun Gong. A Chinese American capitalist guy named John Tang is at the center of the thing.
1
@nancycrisman7496 Any electrician who didn't sleep through apprenticeship class can tell you what's wrong with the Texas electric system. You need no fancy Harvard Degree like Ted Cruz.
1
The guest is full of it. It's a matter of bosses letting everything go to hell because its more cost effective to wait until things go to hell in a handbasket. Then they will hold hearings pointing fingers at anyone but the Energy Bosses who are refusing to reinvest because they aren't getting big enough profits. You don't believe they are going to lower taxes or prices do you?
1
@ebayerr Ask yourself why they had to do that. They refuse to invest in either expansion of the Texas grid by syncing it to either the Eastern or Western interconnect and as long as it like that huge rotating equipment or massive DC to AC inverters are required to do any interconnection not a simpler and cheaper wire and cable interconnect. The only other solution is to have excess fossil fuel generating capacity or huge DC battery storage capacity. Texas is the largest state producer of wind energy. Another solution for emergency generation would be to equip all cars with a combination of slightly larger alternators and inverters and/or use of the car battery in electric cars as a stored energy source. None of this is rocket science it's just a matter of bigger profits can be made by investing elsewhere like in financial get rich stock market manipulation (Gamestop) or capitalist banks feeding their vault's with cheap zero interest rate fiat currency from the central bank.

@michaelwoodsmccausland5633 We get the Party LIne the CCP is responsible for everything now that Trump is gone when Putin was the bad guy.
1
@michaelwoodsmccausland5633 Basically it a case of Boss irresponsibility. They can't make big enough profits without letting everything go to hell before reinvesting. Don't believe this crap about bosses wanting to lower prices. When has anybody's electric bill gone down. What they want is the same thing the always want bigger profits, higher prices for an even worse service. One group of bosses is mad about another group getting a bigger subsidy.
1
@douglaskriever6904 Texas is Republican and this is an example of how they run things it has little to do with the other Party because ERCOT is a Texas only entity and Texas has been overwhelming Republican for a long time.
1
@georgegeorge6887 I'll tell you this. First the video is made with support of the CCP's capitalist rivals THE NEW TANG DYNASTY. The bosses aren't making a big enough profit in the electrical racket to warrant investing in extra generating capacity, an AC interconnect or keeping gas and oil fields operational. It's more cost effective to let everything go to hell in a handbasket. Now you don't believe that bull about bosses wanting lower prices with a free market? No boss wants a free market unless it's you selling your labor or a farmer selling his crop to a big middleman. Then they want a free market prices. What they want is bigger subsidies from their rivals and monopoly power in the marketplace. When was the last time your electric bill went down? This guy takes you for a chump period.
1
@robertabell9182 Right nothing like waving a flag and patriotism to gain votes and boost sales. Like Joe Biden's "Let a Thousand Flags Wave Inauguration." Sure Dewey, Cheatem and Howe was the Harvard and Yale law firm representing Democratic and Republican Party capitalists working hand in glove with spineless capitalist judges to spend the least and get the biggest return in investment. . ,

As Ted Cruz Jets off to Mexico.

@chetmyers7041 Basicly energy bosses can't make enough profits without subsidies but don't worry because another group of bosses want a free market where they don't take subsidies. Sure their going to save you tax money and save rate payers. Rate payer well what rate payers wholesale rate payers is probably what he means because when do bosses lower retail electric prices? The Energy Bosses like a free market? You got to be kidding. The monopoly was invented by Standard Oil.

@vnchreturningdestroychinaa2586 Down with Imperialist war mongers.

@danmoen755 By the time it would be finished the starting end would have rusted away already. Not to mention the need for cost overrun subsidies and leaks from cheap substandard welding.

Diane Davenport Simple American Bankers wanted the cash.

@bad2dabone414 Bosses care only about making a Yankee dollar. Naturally the seek to blame someone else like Chinese communists after all no one likes them and they aren't around to defend themselves anyway. The Bosses always blame anyone besides themselves. Then the have a big lecture about how their market system would have worked if they weren't giving themselves subsidies. At the end of the day the will be crying for public bailouts more subsidies and the need for fewer regulations.
1
@bad2dabone414 The capitalist of all countries have loyalty to one thing only money, gold, oil and Texas Tea. You don't believe for a second that they want to save you money on your electric bill? The oil and gas barons want a free market? Hell Standard Oil invented the monopoly corporation. One group of bosses wants the subsidies another group of bosses is getting and no your not going to get a lower tax bill. This is the same free markets sovle everything bull shit of the Reagan era. The only time a boss wants a free market is when he is buying something otherwise he wants a monopoly market all to himself. The truth is that its more cost effective to let everything go to hell in a hand basket and invest in hedge fund market manipulations like GameStock.

ERCOT can not import electricity into Texas because the grid is not synced with either the Western or Eastern interconnect. Austin Republicans are the ones who wanted to keep Texas "Energy Independent." Power in EL Paso was off for no more than a few homes and a few hours because it is connected to the Western Interconnected. The few interconnects are DC not AC because the theory is that they are for export only.
1
@susanchan250 American capitalist and politicians want to blame someone else besides themselves for problems they create.
1
@susanchan250 Bosses didn't want to invest in either extra generating equipment, a grid that is synced for AC power exchange with either the Western or Eastern Interconnect and they were not prepared for cold weather problems in the oil and gas fields. Plus every automobile is a potential source of emergency power. For a few extra dollars you could easily have 2400 watts from you automobile. It's cheaper not to plan and deal with the insurance and political costs later. This is just the natural way capitalism deals with disaster. They are prepared for nuclear war and Trump created a space force though. You come second to Wall Street gambling on stock prices like Gamestock. Sure blame the CCP as if they control Washington, Austin, Wall Street, oil and gas fields or wind mills. After all when Trump was in office he was controlled by Putin right?

@georgegeorge6887 It's a case of capitalist bumbling.
1
@georgegeorge6887 I can't afford the trip to China or afford to buy property here never mind China. What makes you think Wall streeters in Jersey or Connecticut care? Ted Cruz got caught leaving for a vacation in CanCun, Mexico. Did you see the night sky lite up in downtown Houston while the rest of the city was dark. We lost power for 3 days, its warm but I got one of the last milk cartons at noon time at the HEB today.
1
The real problem is not technical or which group of thieves owns the land or electrical power system but it's the way the profit system functions. More money can be piled up by doing market manipulations like the Gamestop swindle or filling bank vaults with cheap fiat currency then reinvesting in what working people need and planning. Instead market chaos is held up as an advantage along with business secrets and private insurance. Once a disaster is declared the private insurance parasites are off the hook and the loss is socialised. Mean while the rich and wealthy are going to Cancun for the week or up north for the snow and skiing. Plenty of planning and investments for trips to Mars and the next nuclear war with a Space Force.

@MrBobberino01 An appeal to patriotic feelings is always a good way to secure votes and gain bigger sales figures.
