Reddit can become a echochamber, a one sided flog machine, all good content decaying, no good or viable business after 10 years (propped up by YC investors), it’s even become a slur to denote a certain type of brain and eventually it will die off like slashdot and digg did.

But you won’t be able to take the Redditors off the internet. They be lurking, waiting with a perfectly annoying post ironic millennial reply.

I hope the TSE does well and expect the state with the largest concentration of energy tycoons and businessmen will figure out how to add grid robustness - a problem solved in nearly all states.

This reads like the energy tycoons and businessmen only recently moved to the state, and now they can fix the problems. My understanding is that these energy tycoons and businessmen presided over the creation and deterioration of the Texas grid in the first place.

Shouldn't that drive the question of why Texas is so bad, though? This argument seems to amount to "Everyone else is better than us, so we must be the experts in fixing the problem.", which seems weirdly backwards.
