Nope because freedom and uh... Higher costs with less stable infrastructure? Idk, lost my train of thought there for a second.

>so they put a lot of effort into making sure it didn't happen again.

They literally did not. They did some minimal maintenance on some old infrastructure that needed updating anyway but in terms of winterization, virtually none was performed. If we get another storm like last time, the power is gonna fail again. It has nothing to do with green energy either, the issue last time and still today is the natural gas lines freezing. Once they freeze, everyone is fucked.

"Americans" aren't scared though; much like marijuana legalization, the vast majority of Americans support nationalized healthcare. Our system is just broken and corrupt so our leaders don't need to give a shit about what the majority wants.
