hey free market hows it goin? TheStreet Home > economics The Wholesale Price of Electricity Spikes 10,000% in Texas Power Outage A massive polar vortex spread across the South impacting many states. Texas was the hardest hit. By Mish, Feb 15 2021 yea

A four-panel black-and-white comic shows a smiling cartoon figure asking the free market how it is doing, followed by a news headline about wholesale electricity prices spiking 10,000% during a Texas power outage. The character simply replies “yea,” making the joke a deadpan reaction to disastrous market consequences. It is used sarcastically when a supposedly beneficial system produces an extreme or absurd result.
