I think it odd that Texas, a wealthy state, would attack the digital safety and privacy of its residents instead of addressing how power can cut out for days at a time or water boil advisories for its populations.

Anything but meeting the barest expectations of a “first” world country.

They’re definitely doing things to address both of these? Making more grid connections with neighboring states. Approved $20 billion for water infrastructure over the summer.
