It's been only a week since Trump was acquitted by the cowardly Republicans in the Senate. Meanwhile, Biden has continued to advance good policies and a much-needed relief bill. Another seam has opened up which demonstrates, once again, the moral bankruptcies of Republican governance. The independent Texas electrical grid has failed in spectacular fashion bringing much misery and death to the state. In pursuit of profits and low prices, power suppliers failed to make the recommended upgrades after a near miss in 2011 with bad weather. I can only hope that more people will learn the lesson that when it comes to public infrastructure that supports basic human existence, a market solution fails miserably. The good solutions are cooperative rather than competitive. Market forces are, in the end, destructive to human welfare. When will they ever learn?
