Yay polar vortex

submitted by [deleted] from self.whatever

I have no power. No heat. No running water. It's freezing. The internet barely works.

I have to shit in a bag.

I woke up in a pitch dark bedroom and had to feel along the walls for the door.

Gizmo does not have his double stuffed Temptations chicken flavored treats he loves. He suffers mightily.

My supply of beer is dwindling. I can't find my clothes. And worst of all, there's no music.

I'm reading by lantern light.

It's like we never got back from camping.

I turned off 5G and went back to LTE. No 4G option. It's faster and eats less battery. Is 5G ever not going to suck?

Well, you deserve it like the bad little goyim you are.
You haven't been toiling enough.
You refuse to wear the mask and heel.
You didn't graciously give up enough of your taxes.
You didn't vote for the right person.

You've been naughty and now you'll feel HAARP's grip.

Aw, I'm sorry; I hope it gets better soon! You from Texas? Why do they have their own grid, that's dumb! At least have a pan-Dixie grid, not just "most of Texas, but not even all of it". It's freezing cold here in Arkansas, but we've still got power... Stay safe!!

Hard times. Sorry. Find a back-up for the next time and the next.

I really don't buy the "deys be contollin da wetha" shit. But there really is no excuse for Texas to be losing power over a few heaters when most heating is done with gas and Texas already has a grid that can power AC's in literally every building all day all summer at the same time.

They shut the power off just to fuck with people. Or to test out what will happen. They been pushing "muh china can crash the electric grid" conspiracies lately. This could be the test run for when they run that whole false flag operation.

They were forced to build renewables which are shitty at everything and completely failed.

Only 15% of the grid were renewables. It just doesn't compute. They could easily have told everyone to conserve unnecessary power usage like lights, tv, laundry, washing machines, and reduced need by far more than 15%.

A few hours of blackout is reasonable. More than a day is absolutely not.
