3. The great state of aTexas….NOT! Your elected officials don’t care about you.

4. Be patient and grateful you aren't homeless yet. Love each other, help each other. We Texans will survive.❤️🇨🇱💕

5. They better be able to sue them. These kinda of blackouts happened twice in 30 ish years (nothing this bad) and leaders and politicians chose to do nothing about it. (Winter storm 1989 and 2011 for reference) Texas needs to join the national power grid joining the other 47 states (Alaska and Hawaii obviously not on the same power grid) we need to update it nationally too because it’s nearly 20 years past the expiration date on the majority of the power lines.

6. Je suis tellement excitée de partager ce témoignage étonnant sur la façon dont j'ai récupéré mon mari …….. Salutations à tous ceux qui liront ce témoignage. J'ai été rejetée par mon mari après deux (2) ans de mariage simplement parce qu'une autre femme avait un sortilège sur lui et qu'il m'a laissé souffrir, moi et mon fils. un jour, alors que je lisais sur le Web, j'ai vu un article sur la façon dont ce lanceur de sorts (Dr WISE), a aidé une femme à retrouver son mari et je lui ai répondu à son adresse et il m'a dit qu'une femme a eu un sortilège sur mon mari et il m'a dit qu'il m'aiderait à récupérer mon mari dans 74 heures que je retrouverai mon mari. Je l'ai cru et aujourd'hui je suis heureux de vous faire tous savoir que ce lanceur de sorts a le pouvoir de ramener les amoureux, de l'aide dans vos affaires, de la promotion, de la bonne chance, etc. car je suis maintenant heureuse avec mon mari. Merci au Dr WISE, encore une fois de m'avoir aidé dans mon mariage, veuillez le contacter via, +2349063191711 il pourrait aussi être votre aide.Voulez-vous savoir ce qu'il fait ici … Il vous aidera dans ce dont vous avez besoin merci Envoyez-lui simplement un message par téléphone +2349063191711, il pourrait également être votre aide.

7. BAN Texans from entering Maine!

8. Let us Pray for Texas Safety ..

9. People are already suing Ercot

10. 👍👍👍🙋‍♂️

11. Texas plans to do nothing to upgrade & winterize their personal power grid. Yikes.

12. ERCOT is a not for profit organization… May be they should sue the generator owners who do bare minimum and rake in profits or the utilities who work hand in hand with these generators

13. texas need uranium power plant.
    it's clean, zero emissions, and generate a lot more power.

14. But everyone's moving to Texas because the houses are cheap 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💩

15. It really disgusting how people react to this type of news.. kicking people when they are down, making rude comments, basically being middle school bullies. What nasty spirits. Seems like people actually search out these stories to glorify self. Sad world.

16. You wanted low taxes and no regulations. This is the results.

17. Waooow mass resigned, what a way out from getting trouble.

18. watch this Украина опубликовала сенсационную информацию о Biden there are english subtitles the president is corrupt

19. The only thing I know it was a 1 in 100 year storm ⛈ I don’t know if you can sue the power grid company for this

20. 🙏

21. Ппи

22. i bet theres gonna be so many plumbing scams

23. GET RID OF THIS VILE ,GREEDY COMPANY WHICH KNEW OF THIS IMPENDING DOOM BUT CHOSE TO IGNORE IT TOTALLY. HAVE BIDS ON A REPLACEMENT FOR IT !!!

24. I hope everyone who had power, made sure to conserve ot :/ we kept our apt totally dark with the exception of a few fairy lights so we could cook.. we had power and water and made sure we conserved as much as possible! :/ We have a Jeep, and also went out to help anyone stuvk in the snow.. but then got stalked and charged up by meth heads.. ( Because Dallas 🤷‍♀️ ) but we did do our best.

25. Fact is most people are not ready to survive a national grid down which will happen!

26. Should ahh had Gieco!!

27. My heart goes out to those who are suffering. I hope they take time to address these issues after they get through the crisis.

28. Sue the GOP for making it this way with their legislation to save money and give profits to the energy companies instead of looking out for the people. When they knew this happened in 2011, there already should have been in place weathering protections on all power producing plants. 10 years later of saving money and making profits, they are in this situation even worse than before. You learn from your mistakes, obviously, they want to continue to keep making them.
    Hey Texas! If you keep electing the GOP, you keep making the same mistakes too!

29. I thought Texas is kinda like gung-ho "do it my own", "go alone", "don't tread on me" style. I feel bad for people who are not Republicans and they had to go through this.

30. They have cheap materials for building homes.

31. ERCOT can't have immunity, even if they are a non-profit. At worst, you dissolve them and allow the state to have some kind of universal power grid. People died over this, so there's now way they should be let off the hook.

32. Stupid GQP!

33. 4 minutes and 37 seconds and the Texas grid would have collapsed and been down for weeks, causing many deaths and havoc for Texans. Texas Republicans created and support a grid system
    to profit opportunists. Federal oversight would have averted the disaster, like in some non-ERCOT Texas counties.. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, former governor Rick Perry, and Republican law makers still holding on to 19century cowboy mythology and Confederacy ideology. Texas needs 21Century leaders to deal with the problems of our time.

34. MATTHEW 22:35 -40.

35. Allah said in Qur'an.. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep ?

    [7:98]

    Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play ?

    [7:99]

    Are they then secure from Allah’s scheme ? None deemeth himself secure from Allah’s scheme save folk that perish.

    [7:100]

    Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil-doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not ?

36. This water and power supply problems is like in poor Africa countries and is happening in USA?

37. ERCOT is claiming "sovereign immunity." Is that the person, individual or agent?

38. Yeah, they need to be sued.

39. Third World Country or like Trump just to say shitholes

40. and Republicans feel a new political party and voting restrictions.

41. To see this… It looks like Texas is a 3rd world country or better a 4rd. How can a State mess up so much??? They have known about it days before and they let run their people into a , open knife.,. I'm pretty sure that the GOP and CEO and whoever , have all what they need!!! Food, water…. And sure they have enough money to pay the horrible bills for electricity.

42. They all should be “Sued” that is involved with that company. The CEO’s and Board Members should (not) get to just “Resign”! Why should they get to live in the warmth, comfort and safety of their homes with “no worries” of Food (nor) Water?!?! Why should they get to watch from the security of their surroundings, at the Millions that they “failed” to provide the “same” pleasures for. They are (not) suffering like the Citizens of Texas (nor) are they left in the predicament others are left to live in. A young Boy actually died from hyperthermia which would not have happened (if) the company had things operating properly as should be. They live in the comfort of their homes “out-of state” but Millions of People in Texas are suffering and will remain suffering for the rest of their lives, from the “ordeal” they were (forced) to live through and no telling how long it will last! Sadly, the loss of that young Boy’s life could have been avoided and the lives of so many others. There is no telling how many more will loose their life. Let’s not forget about the pain & suffering of their loved ones! The Company Members and Owners responsible, should be “sued” and held accountable for “everything” that has happened (or) continue to happen to (all) of the individuals that has dealt with this inexcusable, grievous, and incomprehensible tragedy!
