True. My Kroger was closed and dark and HEB was open and their employees were working hard and very friendly. They are truly dependable and always helpful during our time of need.

Kroger was turning people away at 5 pm in the midst of this mess

They are doing the best they can. Ercot learn from people of H‑E‑B!

This would have never happened if Texas would have told Obama and his communist green energy to pound sand and opened another nuc plant.

It’s not even that cold I’m outside on northwest side of HTX now it like 35-40

It could be a custom background. I thought I maybe saw a flicker at the top of her head at times.

Yes it has.

How convenient isn’t that

Because they are paid actors with scripts that don't gaf

Agreed. They all have this 'gleem in their eyes', like they are secretly rejoicing about something we are not privileged enough to know about. 🧐

Should they be crying on air?

I would be. This is bad.

@@mindyourbusiness302 lol... like they've never cried on air before. 😅 They cry on air when it's convenient to them.

There's a very strong contingent of keyboard warriors who say they are texans and believe exactly that! The strong will survive.

@@mariahezeako8603 gee i wonder why Texas doesn't have libertarians elected to office anywhere...kind of almost like nobody cares

@@richinoable because all libertarians care about is if marijuana is legalized

@@lasancheofficial1933 and the rave

It's been like that since the beginning of Covid. I've not used curbside so I can find my own alternative to what's not in stock.

Jeez my friend, get it yourself. Its like trusting government with your taxes.

I honestly don’t think hoarding is a problem. People are struggling

What are you suggesting - that it's a hoax? 🙄 Of course daytime temps are more tolerable. The freezes happen overnight. A lot of people don't have winter clothes. Also, people go from home to car to store here. Not a lot of time needs to be spent lingering outdoors.

@@tyd8077 Not a hoax, I assumed a little careless considering it's very cold and the flu pandemic is still supposedly still around. No, this matter is no joke!! My boyfriend is losing his farm animals in Jackson County. His trees are all gone. He wasn't ready either. He has no water and no power He's staying in a hotel in palestine but running back and forth to feed, fuel the small generator for the animals left, and to repair a frozen pipe leak. It's not looking good. I'm ok in GA right now. I hope he's heeding my advice and bundling up; he's the stubborn kind and I can't handle any more surprises.

But it makes me wonder whether the optics selected by th media were intentional. Im just naturally inquisitive and politically suspicious. 😜

@@marchesa2u it depends greatly on the city. Dallas and Austin got hit much harder than South in Houston. We still got it in Houston, but not quite as bad. Very different situations depending on the city or even the neighborhood. Texas is huge. It's not a conspiracy. For instance, half my building was without power, my apartment never lost power. I didn't suffer much. But people just down the hall from me were living very different realities.

@@marchesa2u You wouldn't see me wearing a heavy coat. I don't have a heavy coat. Lucky this storm did not hit here (Las Vegas) we are less prepared than Texas.
