Senator, but yeah. The electrical grid thing I wasn’t aware of until I listened to a podcast episode about it.

Yeah if I recall they specifically avoided connecting their grid to the rest of the US to avoid federal regulations, one effect of which is that the power companies can set whatever rates they want which is how the stories of Texans being charged thousands of dollars for electricity during catastrophic events like hurricanes come about.

Freedom, I guess??

See though, the thing is my idea of “optimal performance” means using an app without seeing any ads. So, no I don’t think I’ll be turning it off.

The sentiment is fine but ‘retard’ is a slur the way it’s used here, that’s probably why.
