Like the time people were freezing to death during a power outage while the governor took a vacation to Cancún?
Besides that one time power goes out more often in California. In Texas you just have a temporary price surge you could treat like a blackout if you wanted to. The difference is it’s less often and you have a choice.

Exactly, they were too poor to heat their homes and that was their choice.

The biggest mistake a lot of people make is being born poor.

Yeah, if you want a governor abandoning his people, look to Kevin Stitt last year when Tulsa was without power for about a week. Lieutenant Governor was out too, literally no one had any idea who was in charge of the state.

Maybe power is more reliable in central Texas, my family still has no electricity from the derecho that hit Houston. And they lose power frequently from all the heavy storms or hurricanes that pummel the gulf coast.

I haven’t had a power outage in about ten years, between SDG&E, PG&E, and SoCal Edison. Meanwhile, Texas has regular power outages. So just what are you on about?
