The old Bush Era - Enron Designed Texas Electricity Grid fails

 


The old Bush Era - Enron Designed Texas Electricity Grid fails and ppl suffer. Can't sell any energy to the other lower 47 states for a premium today (or receive it). Sad. Kenny Lay died mysteriously between conviction and sentencing for his Ponzi Energy scam. All the paperwork of that trial and conviction lost in the afternoon of 911 with the collapse of 7 WTC. Qanon and their "Conspiracies" actually follow real conspiracies from time to time. lol

Happy President's Day USA 2021

 "I will not negotiate with that slave woman owned by my wife."  ~~ President George Washington, on the escape of Oney Judge, one slave seamstress, who escaped from the dungeon sleeping quarters for slaves in the back of the ground floor of the Philadelphia White House, a converted smokehouse behind the laundry and part of the stables, escaped in May 1796 to New Hampshire and agreed to return if Washington freed her slave children already in his possession. This he refused.
