You guys need to get ERCOT under control. A little cold snap and the price you pay for electricity jumped to +10,000%?

Tell us again just how phuggin better Texas is than Yankee country!
Please.
How much smarter, how you all do things so much better!

Thing is, I like Texas. Just get tired of the BS.

Right now, your electrical system sounds like a match to
California's a few years ago.

What will Texas do when summer is here? When I lived in Dallas in the summer we used air conditioning. Used more electric in the summers than any other time.

Well, Texas did stay red, there is that.So, overall I’d say the people are smarter.

I don't know. ERCOT controls a grid in the middle of Texas. Mostly where Yankees have migrated, but it does effect some normal people.

We don't use it in East Texas.

Hahaha!

Plenty of never trumper Texans use and dont use it apparently.

Spent time in Marshall and Carthage. [bleep] love East Texas. Spent three weeks in Crockett and some time in Dallas and Houston too. Love it down there.

Tx vs Pa? C’mon man!

I’m in central Texas and not controlled by Ercot. Maybe they just service Austin? Perfect.

Them trailers will be gettin hot.

lol

Or West or Noth or South.

And we still dont have philly.

I like texas and Texans. Always have.
I hate to see the riff Raff communists move there and here. I went to town and the demographics have changed totally here. I couldn't believe it.
Just overnight.

Or West or Noth or South.

And we still dont have philly.

Thanks, JM. Dillon doesnt realize its like America and Pa- used to be.

If Texas had voting machines like Colorado then Texas would be a blue state too.

Colorado doesn’t need to cheat to stay blue, nice try tho.

I just spent a weekend in Boise. It's changed a lot since I left in 2003. There's an afghan market that sells halal meet near my old job. Lots more Somali and Sudanese too. When I was there we had some Bosnian refugees. I worked with one who was great to work with and we became good friends.

I guess the Obama administration decided Boise needed more diversity so activity brought it in. The Somalis and Sudanese will likely make much better neighbors than the white blm supporting leftists from Seattle, California, and Portland that are flooding the place.

Boise was an amazing place to live around about 2000. It's sad to see it grow so much and see the commies take over.

Might be a reason Texas doesnt have them.

JackMountain is in ""Virginia,"" that said, even Austin has some state Coppers with good sense, in early March of 2015 i was headed to a 24HR pig shoot in South Texas, had my 1 ton Dodge loaded, headed out, carrier bearing started shaking, [yeah, i know] went back and grabbed Wifes single cab Z-71, threw my chit in it, gassed it up and headed out, long story short, South of Austin i stopped on the interstate to take a piss, passenger door open, hosing the chit out of the shoulder when up pulls a DPS Trooper, he sat while i finished up, got out and asked what i was doing, lol, like he didn't know.

Told him about my 1 ton, and now had a minimum of 75K worth of rifles and ammunition in the bed of this truck, didn't want to stop at a rest stop/c store and make a big fu-king mess in his state were someone trying to empty this pickup bed while i was inside taking a piss, 'Damn sir, i dont want you to do that either, safe travels" i told him to be safe and have a great rest of the day.

I like it there and I like the people. Made good friends with a guy from Tyler where we loaded from time to time.

Former Texas AM All Star turned preacher told a group of Yankees before he took them to Texas for revival meetings in Baptist Churches the following.

Men, a lot of northerners think the southerners aren't very smart because they relax, take their time and talk slow.
Northerners think in phrases and sentences and say it fast . Southerners think in paragraphs and take their time telling you. They are a lot smarter than most of you Yankees.
