    Right, we're not of the woods yet.

    ...I feel terrible for the ones with the absurd energy bills.

    I read that was limited to a certain power company in Houston. Is that the case or is it around the state?

    Not sure, but I sure am glad I'm not the ones with a 17k bill.

    Yeah, that's just absurd. I understand that's the nature of the contract and how that company provides the service, but it still isn't fair.

    Yeah, my folks and I immediately checked our bill and felt like it was a miracle it didn't happen to us. But jeez, that was one terrible week.

    Good news for sure. Hopefully lawmakers over there can help the ones getting screwed over.

    Only because the same lawmakers that abandoned ship and flew to Florida, or Cancun, ensured they stayed off of the federal grid. If there was any kind of enforceable regulation this wouldn't be happening.

    And now the citizens of Texas are suffering, while the same fuckers who wanted to allow a secession vote not three weeks ago; are/have received a government handout.

    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    A lawyer said to turn off auto-pay and protest. Not much they can do.
