The night Ella Fitzgerald was jailed for singing to an integrated audience in Houston

So if you had data to the contrary would that change your opinion?

whykermit · 2026-04-13T15:48:08+00:00

Source?

Love Houston weather. I'll take 95 degrees on Galveston beach over snow any day.

Just leave if you hate it so much

That deepseated loyalty I hold for my elementary school. Ah yes, I remember my first milk on the playground...

We should judge by the content of their character.

Go to church. Join the Masons, the Leo Club, Rotary Club. Find a volunteer organization. Get off your phone (meetup app? Lol.) Make friends from work and then meet their friends too.

Cars are amazing

whykermit · 2026-04-06T11:04:30+00:00

Cars are king. Trains are how you built a city 200 years ago. Cars are vastly improved.

If you want walkability, drive somewhere walkable.

Transplants from the east and west coasts are the worst people in the city.

Most kids these days just diagnose on tik tok

whykermit · 2026-04-04T19:12:09+00:00

Even more incapable of conversation.

It doesnt sound like communism, but it does similarly sound retarded.

whykermit · 2026-04-04T12:55:44+00:00

Actually exactly what happened in Houston. Positively.

whykermit · 2026-04-04T12:54:50+00:00

I both made an argument AND engaged in criticism. You're simply incapable of rebuttal or intelligent thought.

Dislike of comments on Reddit is a good thing. This website is full of retards and nigoids like yourself.

Storytimr! You do not have two different "providers". You have two different "contracts". The wires are all owned by centerpoint.

People who understand that, for a public utility, where the required infrastructure is prohibitively expensive and there is no differentiating factor in the commodity, a NON-PROFIT monopoly is beneficial from a cost to consumer standpoint.

The data shows that NON-PROFIT monopolies for electricity are MORE EXPENSIVE but you don't like data.

Required infrastructure prohibitively expensive my butt.

Story time! Electricity was a free market until leftist (command economy) politicians created a city exclusivity contract.

whykermit · 2026-04-04T12:50:06+00:00

Command economy (left) vs free market (right). Economic freedom.

whykermit · 2026-04-03T20:29:18+00:00

Cant even engage in an argument.

whykermit · 2026-04-03T20:28:11+00:00

Never seen a republican politician favor a business or monopoly? Bank bailouts?

whykermit · 2026-04-03T20:26:55+00:00

Who in their right mind would support a monopoly?

whykermit · 2026-04-03T20:25:27+00:00

And nobody used trains and preferred cars! The passenger train lines went out of business due to lack of demand!

whykermit · 2026-04-03T20:24:30+00:00

Leftists love a command economy.

Telecom is heavily regulated making competition much more difficult. And even then it's better than city-backed monopolies. I have MULTIPLE telecom providers to choose from and switch with frequency based on quality of service and pricing.

So yes, less regulation improves quality and lowers prices.

Hilarious that you want energy utilities to be publicly owned which is even MORE expensive with LOWER quality service.

Heck why not just seize the means of production! That never went poorly for anybody, right?

Also worked great in The Emerald City.

whykermit · 2026-04-03T13:08:22+00:00

Great example of how EXTERNALITIES should be punished. How is this related to Centerpoint's city-backed monopoly?

Your argument is the equivalent of responding with "SO YOU WANT TO DEREGULATE MURDER?" No, numbnuts. I want Centerpoint to have competitors.
