Texas power crisis revealed flaw in market’s design

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying, but you’re confusing “what is” for “what ought to be”. It’s Hume’s classic “is-ought problem”.

Edit: I’ve interpreted the second part of your comment as an objection to the first part, but if that wasn’t the intended message it’s my bad :)

I don't think I'm confusing the two.

I'm suggesting that what I think ought to be the way the world works in fact is not the way it actually works.

This is a criticism of our current system, not using it as a reason to dismiss the idea of changing it to something better.
