Seriously no time for jokes about people in Texas suffering today.
@germanova
I’m truly very sorry that happened 😓
But Texans aren’t just “snowed in.” There is a very specific thing happening with our state specific energy grid.
Texplainer: Why does Texas have its own power grid? Basically, Texas has its own grid to avoid dealing with — you guessed it — the feds. But grid independence has been violated a few times ove The Texas TribuneMillions of people have been without ANY ELECTRICITY OR HEAT for 40 hours in places that have been -5 to 20 degrees. Water pipes and main are breaking everywhere so that many people don’t water either.
This didn’t just “happen”
We are suffering under corrupt and inept leadership who MADE this happen.
