Day 3 without power. When we reported this downed power line to @CenterPoint they advised us that it was very dangerous, and that they would send out a crew ASAP. This is day 3.
Just confirmed @SenTedCruz and his family flew to Cancun tonight for a few days at a resort they've visited before. Cruz seems to believe there isn't much for him to do in Texas for the millions of fellow Texans who remain without electricity/water and are literally freezing.
HAPPENING NOW: Photos circulating on Twitter late Wednesday purport to show Texas Senator Ted Cruz on a flight to Cancun, Mexico. https://t.co/wO0xxWQuFH
The not-so-elderly among us can still remember the Wall Street bailout. Free people are allowed to take risks even foolish risks. Only elites believe they can browbeat publicly traded stocks to smithereens with impunity.
And when their BS backfires its bailouts and rule changes.

Don't call yourself Robin Hood if you are going to turn your back on the folks in Sherwood forest after one phone call from the Sheriff of Nottingham

I am for the democratizing of technology of Reddit users standing up to Hedge fund manipulation of shorting. My point is we need to reduce the significance of finance on the real economy, and have a system that incentivizes crowdsourcing for making and building things.
Inquiries into freezes should not be limited solely to Robinhood.
This is a serious matter. Committee investigators should examine any retail services freezing stock purchases in the course of potential investigations - especially those allowing sales, but freezing purchases.
This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.
Yes @aoc. We need an investigation into RobinhoodApp’s decision and who influenced that. And this shows the need for a financial transaction tax on hedge fund shorting and SEC regulations on short selling practices.
This is beyond absurd. @FSCDems need to have a hearing on Robinhood's market manipulation. They're blocking the ability to trade to protect Wall St. hedge funds, stealing millions of dollars from their users to protect people who've used the stock market as a casino for decades.
I keep hearing about how we shouldn’t tax billionaires because it might limit their philanthropy. They aren’t being taxed right now.
