I think attacking Cruz about this incident misses the point. In my mind this is another example of the wealthy, the politically connected and otherwise privileged not suffering the consequences of their policy decisions. To demonstrate that regulations of the economy are bad Texas formed their own independent and underfunded power grid. Because of that decision a natural disaster ended up far worse than it had to be. But, the lower classes suffer from the consequences far more than the wealthy and connected. In fact, the family of wealthy and connected Cruz were able to flee the consequences and suffer far less than others. Sure Cruz is a jackass for going to Cancun but the real issue is that once again the wealthy suffer far less from the negative outcomes of lack of regulation, worship of the totally free market and other Republican policy
