Get real. I've lived in the north and in the south and it's not fucking comparable at all. Obviously a heatwave doesn't have the same impact.

Do you want Texas to spend billions being prepared for weather situations that essentially never happen? We should have snowplows and sanders and labor to operate them ready to deploy all over the state, all the time?

Texas isn't prepared for a winter storm of that size and that is as it should be. Massive preparation for events that almost never occur would be a waste of money and labor as well as an opportunity cost.
