The only one I trust on the whole panel is Mattress Mack. The others talk a good game, but they are oily.... Also, why are we talking about Trump. People here are hot, uncomfortable, some or sick and hungry. People are concerned about what is in front of them . Power, food, ice, to be able to go to work without being TIRED from the night before. My family and I have been blessed, even though it took days for us to get power, (as of today, my sister still does not have power), but she has the rest of her family. Everyone is not so blessed. The mess is an abomination. Keep your eye on the ball; not politics, man.

Abbott was offered an opportunity to join the nation grid. Abbott is responsible for ERCOT. Abbott rejected $450 million to feed school-aged children this summer, claiming there was no way to distribute the food. Meanwhile, the Texas National Guard is standing around watching the border for his failed Operation Lone Star, which has cost Texas taxpayers $11 Billion since 2021 with no improvement in numbers of people crossing the border, it has increased. The Guard would have been better used first in feeding children and secondly in getting the storm mess handled. Had this been somewhere other than Houston, it would likely have been done. Additionally, he has made no move to improve infrastructure or made provision for grid expansion or water conservation while recruiting ever more corporations to move to Texas to take advantage of the underpaid minimum wage of $7.25 and right to work state which benefits only employers. Abbott is an absolute do-nothing who has spent billions in his tenure. The property tax reduction was voted in by taxpaying voters. He has no claim to it. Now, he and his pathetic henchmen are blaming anyone but themselves for failing to be on site, protecting the constituency from the aftermath of a storm he knew was imminent when he left for his foreign recruitment trip. They all need to go.

Where is the help for the older people? We have older people in their house with no food or power? They can’t turn on a generator. Does FEMA still exist? No food trucks driving around to give meals to the elders. Gas stations are raising the fuel prices. It costs 50-80$ a day to run a generator. My family and I are making it but what about the people that can’t afford the fuel. Abbot now shows up? The storm was Monday. We’re getting emails we won’t have power till the 19th. These leaders fail us again and again in every disaster.

Abbott appoints the chair of the Public Utility Commission, who has regulatory responsibility over CenterPoint. We all know how Republicans feel about regulations. Yet another example of how Texas Republicans are making Texas a laughingstock.

Texas is the lone state in the contiguous United States with its own power grid. Embracing the go-it-alone spirit of the Lone Star flag, Texas power companies chose to keep their operations within the state's borders largely to avoid federal regulation.Mar 3, 2024 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I live in Kingwood, and the only thing what CenterPoint is crying about is the trees. We know, we have many of them, but they should not be used as excuse to be slow and sloppy.

No body would have the strength to gi through what trump has went through? Lmao He thinks about others before himself except when he wouldn't call his dogs on Jan 6th when police officers were killed. Abbott is a joke. Who couldnt be bothered to stay in the country when he knew a hurricane was going to hit.
