People Who Moved To Texas From California Finally Feeling At Home Now That Power Is Out

[Tsing Tao]

Maybe you need to look-up what a rolling blackout is -- that is deliberately applied from the electric utility company. This has nothing to do with infrastructure in wealthy neighborhoods.

Are you really this ignorant?

Sometimes, especially in older neighborhoods, where powerlines go over the ground and not under (like they do in new neighborhoods), an ice storm and snow on branches - especially in locations where this is not common and overgrowth has occurred built up over a long period - this causes power outages. This does not happen in newer neighborhoods where powerlines are installed underground.

Having lived for years in Houston, I can remember older neighborhoods with these problems. Sometimes when we had an ice storm (uncommon) these older neighborhoods would get power outages but newer ones would be just fine.

But hey, I'm sure if it were Cuomo you'd be defending it. The only person you hate more than DeSantis is Abbot, right? Or is it Trump? I forgot about him - you have the Axis of Evil.

Abbot is saying what is happening to neighborhoods without power while some are still being fed power is unacceptable and demanded an investigation I think....

why are you always so negative... If the city is doing rolling blackouts and the wealthy neighborhoods with connected politicians barely lose power while the rest are told to go freeze and and one mayor who got fired told them to go fuck off..something aint right.

Learn the words "Rolling Blackout" -- understand the meaning.

You know... the same type of "rolling blackouts" that Republicans criticized so much in California.

I understand the concept of the rolling blackout. But that isn't the only thing driving the issue, just because some obscure website you decide to quote says its about the rich.

In your world, there is an evil politician at a switchboard full of levers. He is giggling menacingly with his hand hovering over a giant level that says "FREEZE THE POOR". He does his "muhahaha" and pets his hairless cat, then leans over and gives the lever a yank.

In my world, there are all sorts of variables that come into play. Infrastructure differences, incompetency, badly designed power systems and - of course - government. Just to name a few.

But I'm the ignorant one.

If the situation in Texas involved those problems primarily and not rolling blackouts deliberately applied by the power company to the grid then you would have a point.... but this is not the situation.

And you know the situation in Texas is 100% rolling blackout choices by the power company because of....

your secret spy camera at the office of the power company President?

your telepathic link to the power company employees?

your mole that you planted in governor abbot's office?

and further, you know that the decision was based on income of residents because....

Go read the articles and news from Texas.

Ah, the articles tell us so. I forgot the creed of the Party Loyal. Its always what the news tells us...except when the news tells us something we don't like, then its not.

I read your article from the "dailydot". Whatever the hell that is.

By the way, I'm not saying it is impossible to be exactly as you say it is. I'm just saying I prefer to be open to other possibilities before leaping to conclusions. Truth is usually much more complicated than "its white privilege!

Plenty of local media news stories from Texas describing the situation are available -- not to mention all the major newcasts from ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.

Yes, i'm sure there is. I'm sure many of them ping pong and pick up each other's lead as is so common to the main stream media today (and a major part of the problem).

Again, rolling blackouts are certainly a big cause here - if not THE cause. But there are other factors as well, and anyone making a comment like "they're making the poor suffer so the rich can be comfortable" is totally guessing, totally making up a narrative. Unless, of course, there is an email someone found from the power company where Abbot told them to make sure no one suffered who made over 200k a year like your silly article claims.
