Biden warned of a "very dark winter". Promises made, promises kept.
@jameslavish
If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
Joe Biden hates all the people suffering in Eagle Pass!
No activation of FEMA!
Brilliant.
Where the fugg is FEMA???
This is an outrage.
Are we to write our Representatives and Senators and ask them to help the Republic of Texas?
After all, "It's like a whole other country".
And we help other countries, right?

A FEMA convoy is headed to Texas.....and on down to the border to help those poor illegals safely cross with a full stomach and a flat of water and blankets.

Do people in South Texas not have sweat pants to pull over their jeans, a sweater for over the T shirt, and maybe a Carhart jacket or such to put over the sweater?
An extra blanket or two for the bed?
Why all this complaining and having to run car heaters because of a cold snap?

NO!
We need to get on CNN and point out the absolute failure of this administration.
Pronto.
Sign me up bruh,
But, I think the message might carry better if we get the "Flave or someone a bit more photogenic than the tow of us.
Maybe slummy and renegade are free for an interview?

biden is not president. The democrats all used fraud to win the election. They used vote swapping voter machines, counting machines which swapped votes, mail in voting, ballot harvesting, illegals voting, and dead people voting. They will take our guns and all fossil fuels.
Globalist.masters tell slow jo fu*k them red states in line or let them decline. Send fema fuc*s to help the LGBT , and criminal aliens. It's not about being American to Americans anymore only to the demotard voter base.

Maybe a better asked question would be, "why should they activate FEMA"
"Utilities in Texas were smart and made an agreement that no one was going to extend power outside of Texas.
By eschewing transmission across state lines, the Texas utilities retained freedom from Federal regulations.
ERCOT was formed in 1970, in the wake of a major blackout in the Northeast in November 1965, and it was tasked with managing grid reliability in accordance with national standards. The agency assumed additional responsibilities following electric deregulation in Texas a decade ago. The ERCOT grid remains beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which succeeded the Federal Power Commission and regulates interstate electric transmission.
The result was "an electrical island in the United States," That independence has been jealously guarded, I think both by policy makers and the industry."
Even today ERCOT, which was formed in 1970, remains beyond the reach of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which regulates interstate electric transmission.
There are three grids in the Lower 48 states: the Eastern Interconnection, the Western Interconnection — and Texas.
Why should my tax dollars be spent disrupting Texas independence?
It's their lust for independence from Federal regulation that's killing their residents during this storm.
If not for that, they'd have all the power they'd ever need imported from the Eastern Interconnection, the Western Interconnection.
But if they were to import power it would violate the rules that allow them their independence and they'd become Federally regulated.
But Texans have no need to worry, their savior is coming, in fact he's already there saving Texans lives...
In 2019, Tesla released a vehicle with a “Camp Mode” feature that allows owners to use the car’s climate control for more than a day without depleting the battery.
“We had the power go out for 6 hours last night. Our house does not have gas, and we ran out of firewood . . . what are we going to do,” wrote one Reddit user on the forum r/TeslaMotors.
“So my wife my dog and my newborn daughter slept in the garage in our Model3 all nice and cozy. If I didn’t have this car, it would have been a very rough night,” the user added.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘”I slept in the Tesla LOL. Pretty comfortable. More importantly, warm.”
Camp mode is great The software update couldn't have come at a better time, I camped in my model 3 last night and the only concern I had was that you can't disable the video that shows up about 30 minutes to an hour after you turn the car off. Before camp mode the climate would shut down after that period now it displays a video of a tent with a fire pit in front of it.
You think Musk is going to put up with a weak unreliable power grid while he's building rocket ships and electric cars in Texas?
If you do, think again.
In 2017 all it took was this tweet and 60 days to resolve similar issues in Australia.
Pretty amazing what two young billionaires can accomplish without government help when determined.
Bullshit. The Eastern portion of Texas is controlled by MISO, and we got the same thing. It just didn't effect as much because our temps didn't get as low as the rest of the State. (And were used to extended power outages.,)
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
IIRC Trump won Texas last November....... That would explain everything. It's sad but that's how it works. I don't know what democrats call it but to regular folks it's known as "payback".
