Texas is a state, dear. Administrative incompetence notwithstanding, it still has better infrastructure than a good portion of the world and pretty much all of what we'd consider the "3rd world." And also, they only have the problems they have because they deliberately cut themselves off from the national grid.
Cut the goalpost crap. You said talk to you when huge regions lose power, texas is 7% of the goddamn country and it lost power for an extended period - and still has an unstable grid! - due to corrupt pocket lining.
Do you understand the difference between power outages and there being no infrastructure at all in the first place? And, AS I MENTIONED, Texas is in the spot it's in because they refuse to work with the rest of the grid.
The goalposts aren't moving, you just have no idea where they were. I'm guessing due to critical failures in reading comprehension or being paid in rubles.
Flail harder.
You must be fun at parties.
You must play Stairway in guitar shops.
Yeah, that's because you removed the goalposts entirely.
... but, you seem to be suggesting, not a huge region.
Have you seen it? It's huge! And it's a region!
California has been having rolling blackouts too, which you forgot while you've had your head up your ass and were smelling your own shit.
Where was that happening? I lived in California 30 years (until last month) and had not experienced a rolling blackout since the ENRON era.
It was only a year ago: https://abcnews.go.com/US/california-blackouts-power-grid/story?id=89460998
The other guy is just a moron.
Yes, clearly the US is a 3rd world country because some states experience occasional issues with their grids. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the "first world." Oh, wait.
If you're smelling shit, he that smelt it dealt it.
Or you could cut the playground crap and argue like a grownup, whatever.
Thanks for setting an example of how to argue like a grownup.
