    These ####ing guys. We load out of railyards all night long. We empty rail cars. That means they must remove the empty cars and bring in full ones. Called a rail swap.

    The drivers get bent out of shape like this is abnormal. Happens every other night. Sometimes it’s every night. Nothing new here jackwads!!!!

    Most reasonably priced rig I’ve seen in 2 years, so what ever it takes— has a B model in it by the way

    Yes. I stand corrected. I was referencing Cruz. Senator.
    And your not kidding about his lack of knowledge re: running a grid. Neither do you nor I have said knowledge. But I can lead you to the how and why of what Texas is trying to do there and why it's backfiring:

    Why Texas has its own power grid.

    Also:

    Slightly dated, but still pertinent.
    Federal Funding in Texas

    @BennysPennys - your # of military personnel argument. Consider first, they've been demilitarized & released from US active duty or considered AWOL, deserters or mutineers. Lot of those guys AREN'T from Texas. They're going home. Why? Because they aren't being paid to give a #### about Texas anymore.... They won't be paid at all. They won't be getting any new boom boom sticks, or projectiles to put in them.

    So these arguments presented.
    Let's also consider import fees, tariffs & taxes for moving your goods across new borders. Finding new sources of funding for everything from Policing to social welfare programs to simply getting your mail. Your larger metro areas will see an exodus of people, I'd suspect. The cartel would likely move in, further deteriorating the quality of life.

    If everything is bigger in Texas. So is the "thud" when it falls down.

    I'm not a genius, but a little leg work and you could see, pardon the pun, how it could all go South in a few moves. Now I know I messed up a name & position right out the gate, but please, don't let your opinions make you "right".

    Considering the money value, must have been some overage on an empty they took...
