Topic	'Going days without power is a sacrifice Texans should be willing to make if it
TommyG663513 02/17/21 4:28:10 PM #15:	wackyteen posted... @TommyG663513 Saw you espousing things in this vein in another topic. Do you agree with the Former governor? No. Government is largely responsible for infrastructure failings on this scale and they need to be held accountable. The guy is a public servant and he's downplaying the reality of his job and what role he played in the current circumstance. Problem is as well that Texas elects people like this and they often aren't held accountable. Maybe this won't be true this time. That one mayor was forced to resign and his wife lost her job. There is also this reality where you can be dealt a bad hand, but you also didn't make a good play on it either. Government being a crap show doesn't forgive the amount of stupid driving mistakes. A lot of winter driving is really just drive slow. Figure out how fast your vehicle can travel safely. Start slow and work up from there. It's by no means a catch all, but the amount of people who don't do something so basic is a part of it. It's just so surprising to me to see just how unbelievably ignorant so many Southern people are about winter weather. Like it makes sense, because they have no real reason to need to know anything about it for like 99.9999% of their lives. It's just a downright foreign concept to me. I don't think that you can deny that a lot of the mess in Texas is due to citizens not acting in the most appropriate way. A lot of it is just straight up good faith ignorance. A lot of people get really hostile when you point this out lol The amount of Southern people who sounded well uninformed about how snow works trying to tell me how it does is downright comical. Like I'm very much a person who has spent large chunks of his winter his entire life experiencing various major snowstorms. I will put it this way. The only time I ever ended up in a ditch in the winter was when I was really young and stupid. It really didn't take much to realize I can drive much better and not take risks as I got older. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:950747703] in 'Going day...
