Where was Texas Gov Abbott?

[duforsure]

He was well aware of energy companies problems in 2011 that resulted in blackouts, and what the investigation showed needed to be done, winterize, costing them. Since they support him he was not going to make them spend anything , and choose to let it go. Now he wants to blame others. He also is doing nothing now to prevent getting gouged with huge bills from these companies, and will do nothing but protect them again, just like he's done with siding with trump's EPA changes allowing more pollution, and going against President Biden's energy policy's going with electric vehicle's. Texas deserves better than Abbott and Cruz, way better.

1. Maybe he drowned in a bathtub.

2. Then along comes Pleasure Cruz and does what any Republican worth his hat would do.

He demands that the taxpayers foot the bill for the necessary winterization that these same, private power companies were “advised” to complete 10 years ago but didn’t do.

Socialize the losses. Privatize the profits. It’s the Texas way!

3. It was only 11 yrs ago

Why do we the taxpayer keep paying the same bill over again so they can shove it in our face again? When we give them the same recommendations they will go back to the same playbook to keep the government out of our business and we would have again given our billions to someone who will cry wolf. How many times do we do this?

5. "Texas deserves better than Abbott and Cruz, way better."

While I will agree that certain parts of the population in Texas deserve better, the majority do not. You get what you vote for.

I am a minority voter in Alabama. While I HATE the politicians we vote into office here, there is little I can do except fight for something better in the next election cycle.

6. Texas has exactly what they deserve. They got what they voted for, and yes it sucks for those who

voted for someone else but that's how it works. The problem is they will vote for them again. They hate Democrats and regulations that much. I ran out of sympathy for any red state a long time ago.
