Yep, so y'all should never come here. Texas is just the worst, you should move somewhere else. Definitely not here where its just so awful, please for your own sake stay away.
Republicans: Ted Cruz Is a Hero for Flying to Cancún as Texans Freeze to Death

what's worse is all those people that fled Katrina only to get frozen, they should get free transport to california, new york, or africa, their choice
Evan Jenkins
It was. They tried running grills, cars, and generators in doors. I'm not sure how they didn't realize the issue, I've run my car in the garage and realized it wasn't venting pretty quickly by how light headed it made me feel.
Jason Rivera
Some people are just stupid

Why did no one turn their water off at the street during this storm? I thought this was a common sense thing to do when the weather drops that far below freezing. 90% of the damage caused by winter storms can easily be avoided if lazy fucks took the time to learn how to maintain their own homes.
Carter Garcia
>Please pay no attention to how our elected officials and those in control of our infrastructure are not subject to the same behavioral norms
Well, Ted sure got out quick.
Carson Turner
It dropping that far below freezing isn't common for Texans, hence it isn't common sense for us. Everyone just drips their faucets and wraps their pipes, and that usually works.
Henry Adams
You can't just shut the water off at the main you sperge, you have to bleed the pipes as well. Do you even /diy/?

If only people could see this clearly. Ted Cruz is holds office at FEDERAL level, but Texas's grid is isolated from the rest of the continental US' grid ostensibly to prevent federal regulation. The real answer is that the STATE politicians need to be held accountable, but everyone's dogpiling on Cruz because he's the most visible entity, even though he had really nothing to do with the problems nor the solutions. Nobody pays attention to their state politics though, and so nothing ever gets better.
Brandon Miller
Ted Cruz is a sleazy piece of shit who deserves every single bit of that grief he's been getting. Let's not lose sight of this simple fact.
