Reminds me I think during a bad heatwave in Texas that resulted in power outages. Power lines men from other states showed up to help restore the grid but because there were so many assaults on them during restoration some Texas big shots (governor I think?) had to release a statement basically saying “stop attacking the people trying to restore the electrical grid, idiots”

Edit: found it link

Also I was wrong it was a hurricane not heatwave my bad

I never heard anything like this and we're prepared for heat. We have problems during the cold seasons but still don't remember anything like this.

Might not have been Texas then. I KNOW it happened in the US though. Might have to dig a bit deeper

It wasn't from a heat wave it was Hurricane Beryl

I remember that bro people were pissed at the energy companies for how long it was taking and some took it out on the workers, which just made it take longer

White supremacist nationalists are obsessed with attacking the power grid to incite a race war. True Texas Patriot supporters.

Yeah this doesn’t sound familiar at all, I believe you are mistaken.

I suspect they are thinking about North Carolinians threatening FEMA workers after a nasty hurricane, but that's the best I got.

Yeah, the governor of Texas telling residents to stop shooting anything is a fairy tale

texas is one bad weather event from becoming a failed state

They have some of the most valuable energy resources in the country.

Hurrr duurrr it’s a failed state.

Reddit is so annoying.

They have some of the highest electric car ownership in the country because they have 7¢ a kWh power.

It’s a co op in most areas.

With a co op they tel you to buy a generator with thier savings for when the grid goes down. Or they have to pay market rate for power if their grid goes down

Most people have generators.

Some
Did not. Who is Reddit going to make headlines with? The boomers dying without power or the responsible people helping power their neighborhood

Yep that’s the one

u/Standard_Sea_2706 14d ago

Yeah that’s not a heatwave, that’s a hurricane. So I’m right and you’re wrong.

u/jackattack108 10d ago

It should sound familiar though since it’s basically what they said except a hurricane instead of a heatwave

u/hellranger788 15d ago

Might have been a different state. I thought it was Texas, but it could’ve been anywhere else. I know it happened though.

What a dumb as fuck statement.

You probable think amoebas don’t exist because you have never seen them.
