ur shitty infrastructure fails every hurricane/heat wave/cold snap leaving millions without power or water. The roads are crap and freeways are underwater for hours or days after storms.
Legitimately asking questions here, is this often the case? I'm younger (early 30s) but I don't recall another Harvey or winter storm on this scale.
Honestly with something like Harvey idk what you could do preparation wise outside of evacuations and such. Same with this. If there are failures whenever certain areas get popped (west TX I'd guess) and they didn't adapt I'd understand. As an outsider it seems overkill to make "prepare for a week of arctic weather" SOP.
All that said, I'm not trying to make a point, I'm genuinely curious as to how this is an Abbott thing.

Honest answer - it’s a misplaced priorities thing. There’s no excuse for the major roads being impassable in Houston every time there’s a thunderstorm. 100-car pileup in Ft Worth? No one in gov has an iPhone with the little weather app button? Rolling blackouts in summer in Houston are becoming more and more common.
It’s on Abbott - and the legislature - for littering west Texas with windmills, idiotic rail lines that travel a few miles, and pet projects that ignore the basic service of making sure the light comes on when I flip the switch.
It’s like we pay less per KWh than states that seem to have electricity when it snows.
