Texans are a stubborn bunch. They don't want to be told what to do - ever. If you do tell them, they will still do as they please and bitch about it the entire time. The electical situation is amazingly stupid. A lot of it is ERCOT overcharging for the high demand -- to the tune of 16 BILLION DOLLARS. Will they adjust it? Nope. Let the consumers pay it. It's too much effort to adjust what the various smaller power companies have to pay. And if they can't pay the overly inflated amounts, they can just go out of business.

I figure Darwin was right -- the smart ones will survive and do well. They will wear their masks and go about their normal lives and let the rest figure out why they are getting so sick (Lots still believe COVID is a hoax). Outside of the big cities the people are few and far between so not masking won't make much difference. Time will tell...
