    Bet they pull themselves out of this by their bootstraps and don’t ask for any federal aid!

    You got this privately owned power grid! Prove us all wrong that you suck and the people who vote in the republicans who allow this to continue have the intelligence of a bag of Quikrete.

      You saw Texas and made a sweeping assumption because you can’t think further than “Texas bad”. The government is literally passing bills trying to make sure our votes don’t count in solidly blue Harris county.

      But fuck me and the rest of the residents of Houston I guess. Since rural areas rule the state everyone in Houston can just fucking die.

      Edit: At least a couple of people really do want me and the rest of Houston to just die. This in response to a brain dead comment about a grid that has nothing to do with the current outages because the transmission lines are down. Are they supposed to shoot electricity directly to people’s houses through the air?

      By all means fuck the other half of the state under voter suppression right!? Houston is so blue that Harris County is the primary reason for their voter suppression. Do go on with your generalizations that make you feel strong and powerful by lumping everyone in a large geographical region together. Especially great character to do so on the premise of people’s suffering.
