Not sure that trend is going to continue. No one wants to live in a Third World country inside the United States.

Texas has their power back must faster then I did from Halloween snow storm.
Remember that?

Because we the people failed to resist tyranny, masks will never go away. For the good of all, you will be required to wear your Official Mask, if you refuse you will be barred from society. Forbidden to buy, sell, or trade goods & services. This is what fear and panic get you.

Yep...the difference is in texas, they will fix it and not by taxing. If too many people fart, my power goes down for a week. My power has been out for a week every other year for the last 8 years.. it will go out again. Just a matter of time. Power lines on poles with dying trees nearby are a recipe for an outage. Think if we had a tornado or cat 5 storm like texas gets.

Who will fix it? They had recommendations to plan for this in 2011 when something similar happened. Guess what? No one wanted to pay for it. Government with no backbone refuses to force the issue. Now it happens again with more devastating effect. No action will mean that within 10 years this happens again and worse results.

Bingo
If you live in a glass house... Schumer, AOC, Cuomo
They committed the crimes against humanity & killed 1,000’s.
No room to talk about what other states are doing
What do citizens choose
People are leaving NY
Texas is growing
That is all you need to know.

Cuomo phuked up no doubt but that has little to do with Schumer and AOC. Federal politicians don't have much sway in state and local politics (especially someone young like AOC or if they didn't serve at the state level) and according to Ted Cruz and Seam Hannity they can't do anything. Cruz looked so lame in his obvious "volunteer" pictures yesterday, too little too late. #CanCruz

Yes we lose power often enough with trees being the biggest issue. But man people sure love their trees in CT. Our town and others have been clearing trees the last several years but its a never ending battle. Some homeowners have fits over it.
Nearly all lines are above ground. We can't possibly move them all. In areas with newer construction/easier to dig more lines are underground.

TX suffered an extremely rare event but climate change may cause severe events more often. Whether or not they take more preventative measures remains to be seen. The governor is a big talker. Now people are getting power bills for thousands because of their surge demand pricing and TX wants to use FEMA to pay it. ***? That money should go to people and businesses suffering, not utility companies playing shell games

But they'll have no water for far longer. I saw an interview with a plumber who had 200 calls booked and 800 calls for assistance. They had larger city lines rupture also.. Why didn't more homeowners turn off their water and drain the pipes? Basic home maintenance stuff. We turn ours off when we travel. Homes in the south are very poorly insulated. I lived in GA for years. Pipes in outside walls can freeze in extreme cold even when you have heat.

If I was a plumber or carpenter, I would get down to Texas asap. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't come back to CT....

they were out of power for 3 days- i get it sucks
but CT deals with that at least once a year- we had it just this fall, i was out for 6 days
my neighbor who works for the power company was out 6 days

you prepare the best you can and hold on for as long as you can
and if you can go somwhere where there is power, YOU FN GO THERE

Chuck the Schmuck

Schummer isn't threatening to deny aid, merely saying TX learned the hard way some aspects of government are beneficialto citizens. Ted Cruz voted against aid after Sandy and the GOP destroyed Christie for daring to welcome Obama to NJ to survey the damage. Cruz looks pathetic today handing out water after his Cancun debacle. AOC raised $3.5 M in just a few days for a state where people hate her.

I hope they learned their lesson though right Chucky Scumbag?

Wait until people stop dying before you ask them if they learned a lesson


A Texas mom recalled “screaming” her tragic kids’ names as they burned to death in a house fire amid the widespread power outages last week.

Jackie Nguyen’s kids, Olivia, 11, Edison, 8, and Colette, 5, as well as her own mother, Loan Le, died early last Tuesday morning in the blaze at Nguyen’s Sugar Land home.

“I was just standing there screaming and screaming and screaming their names hoping they would come out of their rooms and basically jump over so that we could get out,” Nguyen told CNN. “I just remember feeling like it was so dark and I can still kind of hear everything crackling around me.”

Le retreated to Nguyen’s home about five miles away to hunker down when the power at her own house went out. Blackouts rolled across Texas last week following the historic winter storm that sent temperatures plunging into the single digits.

Yes it's horrible but what does that have to do with Schumer? That's Texas's fault, that was Schumer's point not that Texans should suffer. There's already one lawsuit filed for a boy who froze to death in his powerless mobile home. There will be many more lawsuits filed for deaths, damages, lost business, outrageous power bills. They were warned about this ten years to the day after another big outage and the state did nothing. In fact they did less than nothing. Rick Perry actually said Texans would rather have power outages rather than have a regulated energy market. Not any longer genius.

Since TX is prone to hurricanes as it is, having a generator is probably a wise investment. Only took one long outage here for us to buy one. Even when it sits in the garage for a few years I give a little pat now and then :)

You dont say I hoped they learned their lesson when people are sufferring and dying and just lost everything. If Bush said that during Katrina, he would have been ripped to shreds. Are you telling me Louisiana didnt know they were at risk to flood? If Trump would have said that to Puerto Rico, you liberals would have crucified him. Or if Trump said that to California when the fires were still burning.

You see my point....admit he was wrong and should have waited and I will respect you
