Do you think the anger is justified towards incompetent people like Abott and Cruz?


https://wapo.st/3qIQDps

Critics have charged that the Abbott administrations response to the storm has at times resembled the government failures after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. As of Sunday, more than 14 million Texans were under orders to boil their water before drinking it or did not have water. Across the state, neighbors lined up at municipal spigots for water, melted snow to flush their toilets, and lined up for food at poorly stocked grocery stores.

The anger was palpable, with petitions circulating online demanding the resignations of Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who briefly escaped the cold by fleeing to Cancn. Citizens across the state posted angry memes on social media about the governor, crafting basketball-sized snowballs they wanted to aim at him and superimposing Where is Greg Abbott? over a hellscape.

Critics have charged that Abbott and his administration failed to take the storms threat seriously or issue sufficient emergency warnings throughout with meteorologists giving ample warning of a serious storm that could bring record cold, cause power demand to spike, and threaten electrical infrastructure more than a week in advance. Texas Republicans have been accused of neglecting winterization upgrades recommended to the electrical grid more than a decade ago.

He hasnt done anything, said Conor Kenny, a Democrat who is a former planning commission chairman in Austin. All he has done is call for an investigation into his own administration.

Abbotts staff declined to make him available for an interview and did not respond to a list of questions.

They'll cry and whine and won't do anything about it. Eventually they'll just defend the people who did it in the name of "fuck the lefties".

Nothing will change. People in Texas will continue voting in the same kind of people that caused this.

The city people are blue while the farmers and outer areas are red. The ones affected the most by this were the city people. Can't really do much about it sadly

I always read R-Tex as T-Rex and honestly it just makes me like Ted Cruz more if I imagine him with tiny arms.
