Yeah! Austin no longer represents Texans. Austin is our drain hole. And it’s time to pull the plug.

Sorry to inform, California's drain hole is connected to Austin. Need a secession to reroute plumbing.

It’s about a 2 hour wait right now at every grocery store here in Austin and all that’s left to eat is junk food. Thousands homeless due to burst pipes. Tap water not drinkable. Dead old people frozen in their homes due to no power for a week.

I spent all week in my 4wd SUV rescuing people trapped in their homes freezing and staving to death.

Asshole. You obviously don’t live in Texas.

Boil the tap water. Voila, drinkable. Got no camping stove? Well, learn to build a fire. Got no pots or pans? Bunch of sheep and mother nature is the wolf and not the sheep dog teaching them a lesson.

Boiling isnt going to remove chemical contaminants, Rambo......

Broken mains with street runoff and dumpster slush brother, shits not always that simple.

Chemical contaminants in a public potable water grid, yeah, right. If the line is bust, there us no water coming out anyways. By the way, drain your water heater tank and you have water for several days/weeks. Melt some snow or ice. A little boiled street grit won't kill you.....filter it though a coffee filter etc.

At this point it's probably worth only saving those who can be saved. Aka confirm who they voted for before chipping away the ice curtain encasing their home.

Hopefully you are rescuing old people. No able body person should need rescuing in their homes. They dress up in warm clothes and walk to a shelter.

Obviously, you just got here. Go back. My family got here in the '40s. 1840s that is. This is nothing new. Bless your heart.
