TMSMedia: It will soon pass. The problem is the freezing wind which has killed at least 30 people, according to Al-jazeera news which I have been watching since morning. The wind has destroyed so many things and every where is covered with snow. Presently, the wind is ragging and the cold is biting. At least in Nigeria we don't have weather problems. |

theFilmtric: Please speak for yourself. I live in Nigeria and I have never suffered water issue in my life. Stop waiting for government handout. It's not a crime to be self sufficient. Again stop generalising. Every country has poor folks with very poor standard of living. Even in USA. If you happen to find yourself in that category work hard to free yourself. 1 Like |

Jimi24: Lol, Texas is full of ignorant people really? Does this come from differential political mocking or just sheer of the usual blatant false narrative? Even though Texas is a "red conservative state", it is almost the biggest generator of renewable energy. The state is also among the largest in the US with numerous abundant wind, solar, and biomass production. To stress further, Texas is the largest producer of wind and biomass energy in the US and currently the largest investor of solar energy behind California. Wind energy is already far outpacing declining coal energy in the Texas power system. Where do these highlighted words come from? Texas is not the richest state, but it's American state largest exporter. Washington DC is the richest area per capita while California is the richest per state GDP. And Texas is the second richest per state GDP after California, the nation's second-largest IT sector, and also top the country in many areas like biotechnology and many other sectors. Texas is the world's third-largest energy producer and this should not be happening and what happened is rather unfortunate, and I believe many questions will be asked and answers as well. Mistakes? well lesson will be learned and there would be legislation that will forestall future power collapse in case of future severe cold weather. And for the state not associated with the federal grid. Lol, is nothing to be mock about, in fact, it has been the pride for Texas and the sheer jealousy of many US states on how a state can be so power independent without significant issues for decades. Many US states cannot attempt such power independent feat but Texas can, and pride itself as the world's third-largest producer of energy only after Russia and the US. It is not stupidity for not connecting to other state to import power, Lol, they do not need it, why would they, when is the powerhouse of US energy and rakes in over $300 billion yearly in revenue and economic activity. |

I’m in Dallas, Texas. I’m yet to have my bath now. The snow storm has cause kassala for here o. No water to do anything. Temperature dropped to as low as 4 degree. The worst ever since 1989 in the state of Texas |

There is nothing wrong with showing how you suffered, but when people turn suffering into a competition, then who will think about improving so suffering is not normal, if its normal for the people, then they should not think about improvements, or leaving the country, since there is much suffering to enjoy and be proud about. Other people suffer, but they don't celebrate it or hang it over their neck, they celebrate the ability to be creative, to learn, to change and to prevent others from suffering such. Its only un-intelligent people that think everyone has to suffer, because they lack the intelligence to change suffering or to adapt, such that they can tamper it, like how ones tampers metal or molten metal or how one adapts cotton to fabrics, and from fabrics to beautiful cloths. Celebrate only the suffering that changes and makes things better, not perpetual suffering. Many have suffered more than anyone here is proud to suffer, but they do not dwell on it, and that others who suffered less than them should keep suffering or mock others. angelfallz: |
