Billions in damage across the South prompts focus on who’s to blame, and who will pay

AUSTIN —Millions of people across a storm-scarred South were bracing for one last night of extreme cold Friday following a devastating week in which dozens of people died, homes and businesses sustained billions of dollars in damage and basic services such as power and water catastrophically failed.
The reckoning over why — and who is to blame — was intensifying Friday, even as residents were still coming to grips with the scale of destruction. Across the region, homeowners who had fled frigid, energy-starved houses or apartments were returning after the lights finally switched back on. But once there, they discovered burst pipes, flooded floors, collapsed ceilings — and no water to drink.
In Texas, the epicenter of the disaster, more than 14 million people in 160 counties were still experiencing water-service disruptions, with impacts also being felt in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and beyond.

In Austin, Texas’s capital, much of the city was without running water, and officials could not say Friday when it might return. Bottled water had been stripped from the shelves of minimarts and gas stations, and lines were wrapped around some supermarkets, which were imposing purchase limits as residents scrambled for food.

Ok, where are that same media now that Biden is prez?
Where is that same rational?
That is right, not a single word blaming their new puppet, hmm -- I mean their new god..
They are to busy fawning all over the damn fool, much the same way they did the other puppet - the obama.
Thus illustrating their usual hypocrisy and arrogant elitist-- buffoonery. imho. -Tyr
