> I forgot the fact power failures only happen in Texas

No, but only Texas repeatedly ignored federal advice to fix their power grid which directly resulted in children literally freezing to death.

Texas's state government is too focused on insane abortion laws and locking down a ruling white minority class through gerrymandering, voter suppression, and empowering election officials to throw out election results.

If you're worried about freezing to death the Northeast is definitely not the place to go. Far more people die from hypothermia in the Northeast every year than in Texas, even without having a massive pretty much unprecedented storm. And yes, this storm in February was way worse than the storm a decade ago.

I do agree with you though about the priorities of the Texas government. I don't agree with and vote against a lot of those idiots.
