Memes

Okay so just to be clear.

You are in an extreme heat wave. There is no power. You see your neighbors struggling due to the heat. You have the ability to invite them over cool down. Doing so would cost virtually $0.

You instead post a meme on lemmy making fun of them.

Even if you don't get along with them, doing something like this would be a huge way to mend fences.

EDIT:

So I the Houston Chronicle has a Texas power outage tracker. According to them, there are like 2k customers without power in the entire state.

Also, Texas doesn't have power outages related to grid capacity in the summer that often. The major power outages this year were caused by storms knocking down lines. The huge one a couple of years ago was related to cold weather.

While the Texas grid does have issues related heat waves, it's not alone in that regard. Basically every southwestern state does, including California. Someone in Texas would probably know this and understand it's ridiculous to act like this problem is unique to Texas.

So I this entire thing, like everything these days, is made up to push a narrative.
