That reads as if it happened quite a while ago.

They're probably still mad.

Wonder how he feels about this one now.

Obviously the blackouts were caused by too many Commiefornians moving to Texas.

I love how we're pretending that Cruz made that comment anywhere near the same context as the blackouts in California.

Rolling blackouts due to rationing versus a rare occurrence of mother nature. Totally the same!

[CatoTheElder]

The callousness is wrong in any context, especially in a profession where perception is the largest key factor.

As if this situation wasn't made worse by policy decisions.

The immediate cause of the power shortages was the heat storm, which saw California experience four of its five hottest August days in the last 35 years, the analysis found.
...
State officials say they’ve been working to get more of those clean resources built but were caught off guard by the intensity and region-wide nature of the August heat wave. California nearly experienced more rolling blackouts over Labor Day weekend.

Intense weather conditions stressing inadequate energy infrastructure causing widespread loss of power - at least somewhere near the same context.

[CatoTheElder]

ERCOT has a monopoly on Texas energy, never winterized their infrastructure, and were not forced to via legislation and were then hit by a freak weather condition. Result: millions of Texans without power and the oldest and poorest are left to suffer the most.

PG&E has a near monopoly on California energy, never properly protected their infrastructure, were not forced to via legislation and were hit by a freak weather condition. Result: Millions of Californians without power and the oldest and poorest were left to suffer the most.

Point being: taunting states for massive disasters is a bad look at best.

This guy was a mayor

[CatoTheElder]

This reads like Scrooge in A Christmas Carrol.

[Johnny English]

This guy was a mayor

And now he's upset because his wife got fired as a result of what he said.

It's just cancel culture gone mad.

Now do the one where he becomes part of the solution.

I think that someone with views like that not holding any kind of public office is a good starting point.

Btw I choose to interpret "think outside of the box to survive" as "loot the excrement out of Dollar General".
