Dirty_habiT Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That's super shitty of hotel owners to jack rates up like that. I would be willing to bet we are going to see lawsuits with the owner of ERCOT.... whoever the fuck ERCOT is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm pretty sure I became a meme today. Took the kubota that I turbo charged to the store. Tons of people taking pictures, smiling, honking, and waving. I'll choke Luis Gomez with my cock. Samsung got told by the state this morning that they have 2h to shut down. This is not usual. Samsung never gets told to shut down. Way more than "a gun" and "1/4in of snow." Dipshits should recognize that they're such and delete their Twitter accounts. Sadly this is the world we live in. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Damn yo, i didnt realize it was like that in some areas. Prolonged power outages is some bullshit.

I got a homie in TX who is having to boil snow for toilet and dishwashing because he is still without water. thankfully has drinking water. ••• damn shame. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-electricity-texas-prices-idUSKBN2AF19A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all players in the same game and we’re just stuck watching from the sidelines. ••• unfortunate turn of events. Decide on being the only state with its own power grid with the goals of lower prices, avoiding federal regulation and maintaining state independence. Only to have it catastrophically fail, be financially raped with electrical price gouging and hotel price gouging, and have to request federal aid within the same month as lobbying for succession from the union. It’s so tragic it almost seems scripted 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KRYLON2~ Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I feel for you Texans, making deliveries in the streets of Chicago was a real struggle on the lake front. We got 18" of snow in some places. Got my semi truck stuck a few times but nothing I couldn't get out of with my trusty old shovel. I was hoping to spend the day in the office, but crappy weather usually fucks up any plans of having an easy day at work. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) much has been said about the smug, doughy texas politicians who once mocked california's rolling blackouts. as much as i would love to personally dunk their heads in toilets, it seems unproductive to point out how dumb they are, even if they are blaming this on the "green new deal," which does not exist.
