They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    OK since there’s always a risk, how about we take away your air conditioning. You don’t need it to survive most of the time, so fuck preparing for the rare events, right??

    Fucking pathetic.

      By your methodology, should we also take away seat belts in cars? I maintain my ac so it is always in working order and ready to handle extreme heat. Also a generator on hand to back it up just in case. Not pathetic my friend, just ready.

        Too bad those of modest means can’t afford their own generators. But screw them right? Should probably have been born richer.

          Who said screw them? I’m not rich. Hard work and sacrifice is what allowed me to do it. They aren’t crazy expensive and buying used is always an option. I’m sure others of modest means could do it too.
