I remember my parents planning to retire to Texas about 10 years ago, I told 'em "that state's going to be unlivable b/c of climate change pretty soon, don't buy land there".
They're Republicans so pish-tosh. They have spent weeks this summer essentially unable to be outside anywhere.
People will soon be living in Texas no power year around when they throttle you and charge you thousands for power every month of the year because either A) ITsSS TWOooh HAaAWwTT or B) TtThEEee GGRiiIdD IIsSSnnTT Winterized. What a joke
This has been going on for years now. I feel bad for those that suffer there because of this, but if you choose to willingly live there when you have the means to leave, I don't feel sorry for you anymore. It's the ones unable to leave that I truly feel bad for, those that don't have any other choice.
My Texan ass was confused because the last week has been the most pleasant weather we've had in months. The I looked at the article and saw it's from 2017. Don't get me wrong our state is fucking dumb all of the time, but I assure you we are not experiencing a heat wave. It's been unseasonably cool.
