Whoa! Mayor of Colorado City, TX just resigned after making this FB post. TLDR: The government owes you nothing, and you’re on your own for this cold snap.

? SHITPOST ?
We are talking about utilities here. They are a government monopoly.
The takeaway is pretty simple: Monopolies are bad (including government ones) because they get to a point where they don't give a damn about the customer (especially true of governments).
This mayor is merely the poster child for a government employee who does not give a damn about the people who pay his salary.
People should be prepared? Sure. And the government has no responsibility to be prepared, when they use force to create a monopoly? Nobody can agree with that.
