Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

If only Texans had a way to vote for leadership that could fix their electricity issues 🤔
Surely all this is the immigrants' fault?
It is due to woke solar and wind energy being DEI added to the grid.
I realize you might be trying to mock a common refrain from rightwing nutjobs but this isn’t really the place
mock at all means, but do so with class and wit
I'll get to that once Texas elects politicians that warrant such effort
are you one of these fuckers who suggest that “red” states' citizens deserve all that happens to them without realising how gerrymandered are the voting districts, and that the “red” states are not really red?
No, that's why I wrote "Texas" instead of "Texans" or "everyone in Texas" because I know that it's not everyone's choice and a lot of people there suffer from that bullshit. But the elected leadership and a significant part of its leadership are so dumb that they're undeserving of any work put into the ridicule for them.
As for gerrymandering: I have no clue while the US clings to that stupid voting system. But the problems with it are known for years, and I haven't heard of any efforts to get rid of it
Check out "Democracy Watch with Marc Elias" his group has been fighting for this for a while now
Ah, sorry. I was talking about efforts from politicians and parties in charge. Nevertheless, a good and commendable effort
Fair
Lmao. Why is this not the time or place?
