What seems most remarkable to me is that we've got a fair amount of pro-free-market vitriol in the replies around here but nobody feels a need to provide any argument or evidence.

You need to provide evidence for the claims that the free market improves things, not the other way.

Although I am certainly more than happy to make pro-free-market arguments (and have on occasion even in relation to the Texan power grid) I am stepping back from that for today.

If the plan is to decide what is good and bad by innuendo that is a lousy plan and we can all probably agree on that point. This is the perfect opportunity to debate using facts and evidence rather than all sitting in a circle and observing that none of us have any. These whingers should leave some space for people who intend to be guided by facts.
