Their elected officials failed them first by refusing funds from Biden then by taking the funds and using it for the sheriffs’. They’ve then voted in the party that is making things worse, removing disaster aid entirely, and removing environmental monitoring. It is sad that the kids died but there literally was a federal attempt to prevent this by the Biden administration that was fucked by their Republican representatives.
My wife works with a renewable company that has most of its projects in Texas.
She tried to engage their company to provide support and they were like, “Lots of people need help. There are wildfires in Utah.”
She thinks there is a pretty big nationwide prejudice against Texas.
If so I get it. I feel like Texas shoots itself in the face, constantly, because the voting right is just soo dumb.
But these were little kids and poor families. Yes it was preventable, but that just makes it more tragic.
We failed them already and now we are failing them again.
