Me in Houston right now as CenterPoint Energy fails to restore our power. 1.3 million people still without power and it's like 95 and feels like 105.

I think I read he landed in Asia for a vacation or something just the other day. So typical Republican compassion: none.

You guys have it bad. I know PGE likes to make us pay for every cent but at least it's mostly stable. GL!

Run a generator? I mean, I assume that they're gonna have it back in a few days at most.

  1. It's been 3 days and they are staying it will be "several more days"
  2. I don't have a generator.
  3. I don't have money for a generator.
  4. There are no generators to buy, as they have already been bought.
  5. Even if I had one, it's pretty hard to find any gas.
  6. Fuck you. It's 105 out with heat advisories and 1.2 million people still don't have power.

I did. It hasn't been great! Republican control for 30 years and I'm 31. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
