Texas continues its march toward 3rd world status: Day 4 of no power

[Marener]

Its not particularly so

Naturally it needs less government, which is the surest way to reduce corruption

But you would be shocked to know how many progressives infest the largest cities

It’s hella corrupt. The lack of a functional government also means the lack of accountability for their corrupt politicians.

And the low information populace never knows about it.

Fortunately we have you to refute what our lying eyes show us

California has extremely strong building codes to make their buildings withstand earthquakes.

I guess that’s why the Santa Ana winds weren’t ripping off roofs and throwing them into power lines leaving millions without power for a week.

Good grief a quick search shows Santa Ana wind speeds average around 40 mph

Hurricane wind speeds, A cat 2 is over 100 mph

I think everyone in Texas is glad you are not in Texas. You would lower the intelligence by miles and create a lower level of living to the point everyone would be dead in a week

Funny. My states beats Texas in basically every category, from life expectancy to median income to rates of violent crime.

Especially in healthcare where Texas is notoriously terribly.

You mean healthcare for deadbeat freeloaders

Most people in Texas have great healthcare

Texas can’t handle cold weather, hot weather, or storms with its shit power grid. It is an embarrassment to the rest of the nation. No wonder CNBC rated the state as #50 in quality of life. Houston is now the nations 3rd largest city and it has had no power for 4 days. Unprecedented number of people living in the third world. Its people deserve better than the incompetent social justice warrior right wingers who run that state.

I wonder if Ted Cruz has left the state? Im sure the Federal Government will bail them out… again.

CNN —
Half a million Houston-area homes and businesses may not have their power restored until next week amid sweltering summer heat, even as many in the region struggle to access fresh food, air conditioning and safe drinking water.

More than 1 million power customers in southeast Texas – mainly between Galveston and north of Houston – are still without power after Hurricane Beryl hurtled into the Gulf Coast on Monday, leaving at least 10 people dead in Texas, two dead in Vermont and one dead in Louisiana.

The outages have debilitated infrastructure across the region, including hospitals, assisted living facilities and water treatment plants, leading to mounting frustrations from residents that Houston’s main utility, CenterPoint Energy, was not more prepared for the storm.

Why does California always have power outages?
Why are there some in California without power right now?

Right. Because if you’re working class you don’t deserve to get adequate healthcare.

I remember how you guys talk about this.

 

[Marener]

Your states? You live in one? Damn you are really just crazy

I live in a highly functional blue state with a good government and excellent services.

I don’t have to put up with corrupt politicians and week long power outages.

Texas is a hellhole.

If you are on medicaid, or an illegal alien, or a migrant asylum seeker you might want to stay where you are

And dont worry, you wont be missed in Texas

 

[surada]

Sounds mucho hyperbolic to me. The only place in Texas that's "Third World" is the Southern Border as Biden's invasion continues.

Texas is third world... Their rate of maternal and infant deaths is appalling... Comparable to Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and some countries in Africa.

Most people on Medicaid are elderly, children and working class low wage earners. The fact you don’t give a shit about these Americans is what’s wrong with this country.

I hope you don’t wind up in the same situation, but lord knows we’d treat you better than you’d ever treat us.

Wasn't your precious Obamacare supposed to solve that?

Conservatives on the Supreme Court put a stop to that too.

Read a book.

Texas does not have a healthcare crisis

You and surada are trolling, but its not working

No one cares about your opinion of Texas

Of course it does.

If any of you people cared to look, you’d find it. But you don’t. Ignorance is bliss.

They are evangelical hypocrites.

Medicaid is a necessary program. Medicare is a must. There are no alternatives.

That stuttering fucktard with the 1000-yard drooling stare cancelled the FEMA relief the same day it signed it.

lying mother fucker

I get it, it's stupid as fuck and probably had no idea what it was signing and then canceling when the 22-year old tranny intern shoved it at him with a purple crayon.

It's all good. The sooner we cut ties to that subhuman soulless filth in dc, the better.
