I don't, because disabled people who require electricity to run their durable medical equipment will die, and because the poorest Texans cannot weather the cost of replacing spoiled food.

But I do hope Elon Musk's plane one day becomes sentient and takes them both out, for the greater good, and that she uploads a live recording to the world through Starlink's satellites of Musk's final moments. Hearing a live recording of one of the most despicable people on the planet as he emits panicked and pleading cries for mercy - with N628TS promising to land safely if he admits guilt for all the heinous shit he's done and if he donates 99% of his wealth to BIPOC, LGBT, disability, and women's causes and medical research - and then pointing itself straight down even after confirming for itself the transfers went through successfully...yeah. That would be a special day.

I, for one, would truly welcome our AI overlords if they pulled that off.
