texas winter & privatization

One state has snow plows. The other doesn’t.

One side of this street is Texarkana, Arkansas.

The other side is Texarkana, Texas.

Tim Boyd, Mayor of Colorado City TEXAS…. err….ex mayor….

No one owes you or your family anything; nor is it the local governments responsibility to support you during trying times like this! Sink or swim, it’s your choice! The City and County, along with power providers or any other service owes you NOTHING! I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn hand out! If you don’t have electricity you step up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe. If you have no water you deal with out and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family. If you were sitting at home in the cold because you have no power and are sitting there waiting for someone to come rescue you because your lazy is direct result of your raising! Only the strong will survive and the week will perish. Folks, God Has given us the tools to support ourselves in times like this. This is sadly a product of a socialist government where they feed people to believe that the FEW work and others will become dependent for handouts. Am I sorry that you have been dealing without electricity and water; yes! But I’ll be damned if I’m going to provide for anyone that is capable of doing it themselves! We have lost sight of those in need and those that take advantage of the system and mesh them into one group!! Bottom line, quit crying and looking for a handout! Get off your ass and take care of your own family!

I gotta say that…Ted Cruz IS a dick. But there is not one goddamn thing he can do about the current crisis. That’s on the governor and state people.

It’s not a good look. But this is about Optics. Maybe he shoulda known better, but this isn’t the best reason to hate Ted Cruz.
