Cruz Addresses Texas Crisis With Emergency Heat-finding Mission
How many neckbeards do you think know how to change a tire on their vehicle?
Heads will roll. Swords are currently being polished, ready to be fallen on by lower level leaders.
Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, drywall... it will be all you can eat for a couple months at least.
Snow and sleet missed Austin last night. Is power coming back on in SA?
Snowing again here in Cibolo
Austin City Councilman Greg Casar has been much better at getting information out there than Mayor Adler. The doc linked at the tweet has lots of great info and disaster-related resources for Austinites.
How’s North Guatemala doing this morning? Hope y’all are safe out there...
I've had power for 18 straight hours. Relieved.
As someone said recently, the US is fast becoming a third world country wearing a Gucci belt - Texas is the latest symptom.
Greatest country in the world, with the largest economy, the most technological innovation, the largest military ... right alongside widespread medical bankruptcy, contaminated water, opioid addiction, falling life expectancy and relentlessly increasing wealth inequality.
Don't worry, the champion of free markets Greg Abbott will order an inquiry into ERCOT, secure in the knowledge that they have immunity from lawsuits

Biden's oligarchy
Texas shows that when you cannot govern, you lie.
A lot.
Incompetence is not the purview of one party.
But when you view politics as theater and grievance-mongering,
chances are you are going to shortchange governance.
Elect a president with no public-sector experience, no interest in learning,
no desire to hire competent people and
no ability to accept responsibility, and
you get something like the covid-19 debacle.
Moreover, if your party is hostile to government and exercising regulatory power because
it is beholden to a donor class and right-wing ideologues,
you will not be prepared for disasters when they strike.
And that brings us to Texas.
rotten policy and management are to blame.
“It is a financial structure for power generation that
offers no incentives to power plant operators to prepare for winter. In the name of deregulation and free markets, critics say,
Texas has created an electric grid that puts an emphasis on cheap prices over reliable service.”
Mayors from Texas cities — including
Arlington, Austin, Beaumont, Brownsville, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Plano and Port Arthur —
are begging for passage of the Biden administration’s rescue package.
In a joint letter with the Conference of Mayors to congressional leaders, they write:
“The lack of adequate support has resulted in
budget cuts,
service reductions, and
job losses.
Sadly, nearly one million local government jobs have already been lost during the pandemic. …
The $350 billion in direct relief to state and local governments included in President Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan would allow cities to preserve critical public sector jobs and help drive our economic recovery.”
Cruz is part of the crowd that opposes “blue-state bailouts”
(though he had no problem taking relief for Hurricane Harvey).
He was also one of six senators to vote against the December stimulus package.
