Here's your twice-annual warning! Texas' power grid can't handle cold OR hot! Has anyone tried cutting taxes and banning people from bathrooms? That'll probably make this better.

Now now don’t panic, The Poors. Your ruling-class betters have already kitted out their mcmansions with generators to keep them in chlorofluorocarbonized comfort during the crushing heat of our current extinction event. They’ll be just fine.
Heck, some of them have even utilized solar and wind to maintain their comfort levels! That sort of thing appeals to them libral types even. So while you’re sweating out your life’s essences keeping the machines moving for the oilgun ministers, just know that if they gave a shit about you they’d certainly thank you for keeping them locked in power through your hilarious culture wars. Ta!

If they need to cut power, I'll suggest that they start with this address: 1010 Colorado St, Austin, TX 78701

Do you have any idea how much energy an abortion uses? Like way less than a delivery or supporting a living, breathing human! Wait, where was I going with this? Shit!
