Yeah probably one of the richest in the country but they cannot keep power on to their residents when they have a winter storm while cities like Chicago and Boston and New York go through this every year and keep power on to their residents!!!! freaking ridiculous!!!!

Shut up
Better than the shithole you probably crawled out of this morning. This is a generational winter event for the state.

Hmmm. It's almost like there's a connection here....but I can't quite put my finger on it.

To be fair, LA and SE TX both can't seem to figure out their water issues in the spring/summer

I haven’t lost power or water once in 7 years. If a blackout occurs it’s likely not in the larger cities but in small towns in the state.
But to answer the OP, it's because buildings, roads, etc. are designed to withstand this type of weather, and there is infrastructure in place to handle major snowstorms. Hell, there are plows out on the roads clearing things out mid-storm.
For very understandable reasons, Texas doesn't have those systems in place, and buildings aren't built with that type of weather in consideration typically. It's not rocket science.

The last time anything of significance happened was for the Super Bowl in Dallas.
Anything of THIS magnitude you have to start going back to 1989

They did nothing of what? Fix something that wasn’t broken at the time? Or do you mean spend millions/billions, upgrading a system to withstand a severe winter storm every 10-20 years.
Shut the frick up dumbass
