Texas is under a boil water order
How the FUCK are you going to boil it if you don't have a STOVE? Crunch up a chair and build a FIRE in the backyard? This is ridiculous!

Are they doing anything to get this shit back on? It'd be a lot easier, at least, if you had an Electric Stove. You can't cook anything, either. Can you even go buy Vegetables? At least then you can eat!
It's like Nuclear Winter!
Re: Texas is under a boil water order
no they aren't doing shit. lots of us have had no power since 2am monday morn. on top of no power all the pipes burst at all the units in my complex :/
and no you can't buy veggies or anything because everything is closed and the roads are covered in snow and ice. nothing will deliver either. the few stores open have 2 hour + long lines, and they close super early. lots of people turned away after waiting a long time in the cold.
gas stations and 7-11 type places are open but out of like... everything. i'm lucky i managed to get wine and cliff bars.
(also luckily i made it out to a friends house in san marcos where they have power and wifi sometimes. it goes out every hour or so for a bit. but it's warm and we have lots of food and water). i saw so many accidents on the way here...
Re: Texas is under a boil water order
I'm glad you had a place you could go to, that's warm and has power at least some of the time. It's really awful what's going on in TX.
Re: Texas is under a boil water order

This is the most hilarious shit I've ever heard hearing this Texas mayors rant while resigning. Your job is to help the people in your area and these people are paying their bills during a weather crisis.
Him: "quit crying and looking for a handout" "only the strong will survive and the weak will perish."
This is in regards to the water and electric outage in Texas. Who says that to people!?!? Jesus!
I couldn't imagine the day that would work out for any of us normal folk calling up the gas company "stop looking for a handout" when the bill is due.

And some how he managed to turn himself into a victim. Apparently his wife said some words and was fired.

How the fuck do you even flush the toilet? What, you gotta go out and squat down in the backyard and shit there? You can bet I'd be doing that. In a heartbeat.

I lived up north for a bit and we lost power and water once. My husband filled up buckets with snow and let them melt by the fireplace. We were lucky to have that option.

I could be wrong but I think the “handout” comment was from people saying they should be able to stay in hotels or wherever (for free) so they can have power n water.
His comments are kind of harsh, and if thats really how he feels so be it, but for a public figure you can’t just speak off the cuff unfiltered like that and not expect outrage especially when people are struggling due to natural disasters

That’s some karma, served as cold as this freezing weather.

No, I'd just mix it up with my dirt. I know where my Garden is. This is just stupid. The whole thing. WTF is the Government doing??
I have these stakes, and netting to keep the Rabbits out. Pellets to kill the Slugs. A bunch of shit in there would probably make it all grow better if I mix it up with the dirt

wait im sorry WHAT. ive been off the grid (hah) and i don't even want to read this shit bc it's infuriating!! my corner store/gas station was literally OUT OF GAS last night. people were very willing to pay for it. there just. isn't. any. omg. HOW IS THAT A HANDOUT. i swear they want people to die.
i am not a conspiracy theorist and usually laugh at them but it seems that lower income households had to go a lot longer without power. about to put on a tinfoil hat and become a doomsday prepper after all this.
