So now cops don't have to protect and serve during shootings and power companies don't have to provide electricity during emergencies.
Damn Texas, nobody wants to do their jobs there huh? Thought the Texas motto was "Friendship" not "I don't wanna"
Little did we know, the single star on their flag was a review.
Thank jebus we live with freedom and privatization, rather than one of those socialist hell holes that, checks notes, cares about its people
strange how this kind of things happens both in texas and communist countries.
How dare you infringe upon my freedom to die by preventable means.
I think you mean your freedom to be murdered by easily preventable means.
At the same time though, I think if you arrested criminals and then put them in a room that kept getting colder and colder and colder until they froze to death that the entire world would be up in arms about your cruelty.
I think Texas is in for a rude awakening one of these days, when they realize that electricity doesn't care if you are poor or rich, it just does what it wants.
Sure, the rich can insulate themselves with solor power and generators. Though I think the public perception will win out at the end. As people, even the rich, realize that 3rd world countries only have these problems.
That's definitely a third world country problem.
I don't know how Texas can even call itself part of the first world when it doesn't even provide reliable electricity to the people that pay them for the electricity.
Texas gonna find out the hard way what a dumbfuck idea it was to secede from the union.
I mean look how Brexit turned out to the rest of the EU.
If the profit margins are too thin, publicly traded corporate leadership has a legal duty to cut off power and let people die. This is the American Way.
While forcing us to pay for the outsourced power they purchased during the blackout... Any normal company would have to eat that loss.
