Seen the latest nutter conspiracy. Biden controls the weather and deliberately punished Texas...
According to Scott L. Biddle in a post from this Saturday, “weather manipulation and controlling the Jetstream has been going on for years.” He then cited a comment from Biden during the final presidential debate where he said that a “dark winter” was coming due to what he said was the former Trump administration’s lack of plan to combat the coronavirus pandemic. But according to Biddle’s post, Biden was actually referring to something more sinister.
“Joe Biden’s ‘Dark Winter’ statement was not a random thought, it was a foreshadow of what was to come,” Biddle wrote. “Texas is the only state to have its own, entirely independent electric grid separate from the rest of the United States. This is warfare, an attack on Texas by altering the Jetstream, seeding the clouds, and ultimately causing the storm that blacked out over 4 million people. Sound crazy? Too hard to believe? Believe it.”
“If Texas is on an independent power grid system, how did it fail?” the post continued. “Every system has a flaw, A lot of Texas runs on wind turbines and solar power. All the wind turbines are frozen to a stop, all the solar panels are covered with ice and snow, Texas’s flaw is cold weather – their biggest weakness is being used against them.”

The Law doesn't apply to Donny. He respects no one & nothing. He won't pay any attention to this ruling. He'll find some way to drag it out, stall, delay, hide, "misplace" or just blatantly destroy any & all relevant Documents. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/22/politics/suprem...
I dearly, dearly, dearly want to be wrong.
I don't think he has any choice now. The USA's highest court has confirmed the subpoena is OK, he can't appeal any more (was very unappealing before
) so NY gets the documents. His accountant has to hand them over (they were fine doing it anyway,it was Donny who stuck his oar in)
I imagine the IRS had them anyway so can legally pass them to the AG for use

The (self inflicted) punches keep coming for Cruz, remember he blamed his 10 & 12 year old daughters for the Mexico trip, then said he was going to come back the next day, then admitted it was all lies ? Now it turns out that he invited his old college buddy along: https://theweek.com/speedreads/968199/ted-cruz-inv...

Donald Trump reported making more than $1.6 billion in outside revenue and income during his four years as President of the United States, according to a review of his financial disclosures by CREW. While Trump publicly took credit for donating his taxpayer-funded salary, that ended up being less than 0.1% of the revenue and income he disclosed during his presidency. Far from being a sacrifice, the donation was merely a fig leaf to cover up four years of brazen corruption.

Any suggestion that some controls and investment might have been useful will be met with howls of "command economy" and "cuz Marxist".

Variable-rate billing, where you pay according to wholesale pricing. If you're used to cheap electricity and use it for primary heat...

That freezing weather led to rolling blackouts throughout the state amid an increased demand for power; in turn, that demand caused prices to spike, with wholesale rates soaring to about $8,800 per megawatt-hour in the Dallas area on Wednesday.
According to Reuters, the wholesale rate before this week’s storm was only about $50 per megawatt-hour. On Wednesday, Texas’s Public Utility Commission moved to cap wholesale prices at $9,000 per megawatt-hour, or $9 per kilowatt-hour.

If supply is tiny but demand is huge then you can put your prices up (spectacularly in this case).
Same reason Ferrari, etc can charge a fortune for their cars compared to something like a Fiesta.
