There was a giant winter storm that knocked out power grids and electricity and water in Texas for a few days. A lot of peoples pipes busted because Texas is not accustomed to such freezing temperatures.

>>29265878
texas will deregulate itself to death and be happy about it because libs mad or something

>>29265794
They didnt buy crypto

>>29265878
omg they should put in a state income tax

>>29265927
Yeah pretty much. I moved away from Texas because I couldn’t stand it.

>>29265794
not american but is snow really that rare for texas?

>people don't know what Third World means

Checks out.

>>29266018
Oh great, first califags now texasletts moving out of their shit states to fuck everyone else's up. FUCK OFF WE ARE FULL

>>29265794
Why won't people ever learn the definition of third world ffs.

>>29265794
we are literally in the process of being drained economically by the kikes and still have more money than you, seethe.

>>29266168
Eh. I don’t know where you are, but most people seem to like me living where I do and I have plenty of friends. I hope you have a nice day.

>>29266156
In south texas yes. Like once every few years

>>29265794

>>29265794
>spicket

dude in fuckin sandals lol texas is gross in every way

What happens when America invades Texas? All of the military is in California

>>29265794
I live here and this whole situation has been overhyped. This city has at least one natural disaster a year everyone smart always has enough food/water for a week or two in case shtf, and a freeze + outage is much better than flooding and hurricanes. I just put on a hoodie and track pants and read books. This whole thing has been inconvenience but the ones acting hysterical over this are cali transplants who haven't been justed by a real disaster yet

>>29266499
When beaners operate it, the spigot becomes a spicket

>>29266578
tee hee

>>29265927

OMG THE REGULATIONS AND POLITICS HURRRR DURRRR

I see what you did there, liberals. Liberalism is still a mental disease.

>>29266940
Nice

>>29265794
This is why you dont let africans into your state/country

Hopefully they regulate away your right to continue taking hormones

>>29265794
Yeah the nigger snow storm came and sucked up all the money and made everyone so poor they had to do this

>-18C

Leaf here. Not even cold.

You can all fuck off. Anyway, Houston is run by niggers and spics, big suprise.

california is the best state to live unless you're broke or your house burns down, we don't have to deal with shitty winters, no flooding or tornadoes, snow storms etc

>>29268235
Don't you have to deal with massive wildfires, rolling blackouts, and horrific property prices?

>>29268481
>>29268235
You know having snowstorms doesnt seem as bad as these.

>>29265794
The US is the best of Europe, the worst of Africa and the very worst of Latin America, all rolled up in one fucked up country.

literally just drink the water, it's probably fine. After the corona hysteria I've come to realize people are a bunch of panicked sissies.

>>29267252
Bro it s even stupider than that. Electric companies are deregulated and they charge them like 5000% for their electricity during a crisis.also they have big trucks and can t handle the snow.I ve been driving my toyota yaris in way worse conditions. This country is fucking stupid. They work againts eachother.they won t make it.

>>29269378
>500k people dead
>most catastrophic event since WWII

I mean, yeah, they're all mostly old people anyway, but you should try to be safe and not kill people's parents.

This is just Texas being dumb and stubborn, as they've always been. lmao'ing at all the losers that left California for no electricity and no clean water.

>>29268481
yeah well my parents own property so im good

>>29267039
>burgers are boiling their water so they can drink it
>still screeching about how they don't need no gubmint infrastructure

>>29265794
>GUYS WOW HAHA WEEEE LOOK AT ME I’M FILLING UP MY BUKETERINOS AT THE PUMPEROONI OMG I’M SO POOR LOL THE REPUBLICANS DID THIS!!!

>>29265794
tell them to buy nimiq

>>29265794

>>29267113
is that why Elon wants to go to Mars? To finally escape the niggers?

>>29269378
This, we need a genetic bottleneck

>>29266156
not at all. snow happens every year in the Panhandle and West Texas. what happened in Houston was a winter event that rarely happens in places that average several inches a year. Houston is used to temps in the 50F range during the winter, not single digits like last week...

>>29269684
>f-fuck off europoors, I'm rich

>>29269669
Enjoy eating snow, Cletus

>>29269788
All my money is in crypto. I don't trust any fiat.

>>29265794

>3 days of water outage due to lines breaking in a literally unprecedented cold snap is equivalent to being 3rd world nation

I live in Texas and hot water is already back. The entire thing is over unless your own house pipes broke.

>>29269684
>data collect by our journalist :O
Why are amerifats like this? Is it the corn starch?

>>29266214
The cold war has been over since before 75% of this board was even alive. I'm 29 and that shit happened before I was born. no one is going to colloquially use it in its original context ever again.

>>29266753
>"much better than flooding"

Tell me anon. What happens when water freezes in a confined space? What happens the material that contains the water? What happens after the water thaws? What happens when that process occurs in people's homes?

>>29266753
>THIS city has at least one natural disaster a year

Please disregard this inbred pseudocajun's meth manifesto. These types of disasters are only normal in the paved swamps of Southeast Texas. The rest of the state is eager to be properly winterized so we don't have to replace our houses every three years.

>>29269958
People just like to shit on states suffering from infrastructure problems to bitch about their favorite political boogeymen. Same shit happened when Harvey hit Texas in 2017, and it happens every time California starts burning.

>>29270226
Good luck winterizing when your energy infrastructure is deregulated and companies are incentivized /not/ to winterize because disasters like this drive up demand and prices

>>29266156
It is for Houston, I haven’t seen it snow here since I was in middle school. That was 2009 maybe? Apparently these were the coldest temperatures we’ve had since the 80s.

>>29265878
Global warming.

>>29269686
He is a nigger...

>it was -10°C
what the hell, that's literally daily weather here. Just put a coat and hat on. Imagine freezing to death in -10....

>>29267039
literal retard lmao
explain why other states don't fall apart and lose water and electricity when 10 inches of snow fall?

>>29265794

Kek, these are the people threatening civil war because their orange daddy got BTFO

>>29265878
This happened in 2001, 2011 and now again in 2021. Unsure why these dumb fucks did not prepare for this, let alone turn off the water supply so houses did not get flooded.

Also, not seeing much social distancing there... gotta be careful, you might get covid and have a .000001% chance of dying

>>29267327
>reads legit arguments
>responds with mUh RaCiSm TeXas iS gOOd w/O yOu
shut the fuck up cleetus enjoy the cold

>>29268235
living by great lakes is better
(mild) winters are good because it kills off most bugs/pests
no earthquakes or anything crazy. Abundant freshwater

>>29265794
>stops manufacturing things
>keeps printing dollar
kek why are you surprised? even a nigger child could figure it out

>>29270115
You turn off your taps from the mains, you fucking idiots. That way if a pipe does burst, it bursts outside your house. Not sure why everyone is retarded and left the pipes on.

>>29270628
it's not that people froze to death, people are dying because of carbon monoxide poisoning or something

>Not sure why everyone is retarded and left the pipes on.
they're happy about the deregulation anon, let them stew in their own idiocy

>>29270740

So glad they’re getting replaced

Lol America is such a poor country, an entire STATE OF 30 MILLION PEOPLE out of energy and water from a little snow

The whole entirety of Europe dealt with the beast from the east a few years ago and nothing close on this level happened.

It's time for America to admit it is a failed statelet and begun to splinter into appropriate successor states now.

>>29270995
it's not america retard, it's specifically this hick state. they specifically went out of their way to be on a different electrical grid than every other contiguous state. this, coupled with their dumbass politicians, leads to a lot of fake pride about deregulation and disdain about taking 'handouts'
it's pretty fucking pathetic imo

>>29270824
Ah yes, blame the people who have no experience with this kind of weather. Truly stupid. I live in the north where winter is far worse, and I turn my water off from November 1st to March 31st each year. Idiot southerners just don't get it.

>>29269488
the only reason it was catastrophic is because the economy was shut down. that was government, not the virus

>>29270770
Don't tell them! Midwest best west, though the mosquitos and ticks might suck your organs out if you go on a walk in July.

>suggesting economic shut down killed 500,000 people
>implying lack of restrictions would have somehow led to fewer deaths

My favorite restaurant in town is done for since the owner died of COVID. What is the economic cost of 500,000 dead in a country where retirement is for the privileged few? A 70+ year old grandma checked me out at walmart the other day.

>>29271507
Did you make a move

>>29272071
yeah I fucked her but that didn't fill the hole in my heart that Mr. Chen left when he died a preventable death.

>>29268235
For the rich, yeah. For the average middle class person, NJ is the best. Nice, safe suburbs with no homeless, no Ns, no homeless Ns, our Asians speak English, no mexican neighborhoods, the poor's are separated from the suburbs

>>29269669
HAHAHAH KEK

>>29270722
1/700 Americans have already died due to COVID

Maybe the niggers in Texas will move to CA to get away from the cold

>>29272764
>Maybe the niggers in Texas will move to CA to get away from the cold

They can't afford california or the northeast, that's why they are moving to Texas & Southern states in droves

>>29266671
Texas is the last place in the states that any intelligent government would invade.
The vast majority of the state is armed and rearing to fight.
Even I'm armed to the teeth and I'm mostly anti-war (yeah I'd support a civil war to exterminate all the niggers and kikes.)

>>29265878
Hahahahahhahaha fuckig Texas cucks always talking about California taxes. Hahahahahahha they don’t even have fucking electricity hahahah

>>29272621
Only rightwing retards still using the phrase global warming as some sort of dunk. Climate change means higher temperatures on average but massively increase volatility.

It's like you think global warming means the planet is on an infinite bull run to the oceans boiling off. The climate market goes bear sometimes, anon.

>>29273411
i have to debunk you fucking tourists about corona and global warming every fucking week on here, and I'm fucking done with it. Just passing by to say go fuck yourself you dumb mouthbreather, go read the archives if you ever want to hear counterpoint to the baseless bullshit you regurgitate from your handlers.
