Yeah... That's just not true. Texas has had warning this will happen. Repeatedly. They refuse to do anything about it.

Yeah, therein lies the core issue here. Problems on this level may be unprecedented, but they're not completely surprising.

Not to mention calling saving lives just wasteful. Lawls.

It can be. Lives being on the line doesn't automatically take any cost-benefit analysis out of the picture. If the risk is low enough, investing significant resources to mitigate that risk is often unreasonable. There's no sense buying an air conditioner for a home in Alert, for example, even if heat stroke can potentially kill people, because it's extremely unlikely for that risk to ever come to fruition.
