Humanitarian crisis: No response from the state or federal government.
As always, the rich and elite caused this, and the commoners suffer.
Fuck…
The Biden administration, everyone.
They already declared a state of emergency last week: https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/white-house-issues-federal-emergency-declaration-for-texas-winter-weather-event/
More equipment was sent Wednesday: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/02/17/white-house-providing-emergency-generators-diesel-and-water-to-texas-amid-power-outages/
Are you critizing based solely on this post or is there a specific area you have fault with? I havent looked into the disaster much so this is an actual question, but your claim that there has been “no response” isn’t true as far as I can see.
Biden bombed Syria his second day in office, but it took a week of texans freezing to death to promise some generators and mobilize no personelle for disaster relief. Texans are screaming at both the state and fed to do something, this vid is just one example.
He’s also broken pretty much every campaign promise his first few weeks in office, including a minimum wage hike, student loan relief, and covid payments.
Ah so you didn’t mean your generalization then.
I tend to agree with the premise behind your points otherwise, though since the reconciliation isnt complete I’m holding off on the minimum wage/payments promise being broken until we hear something closer to the final steps/moments.
It’s definitely not a “new era” as far as American politics are concerned.

I guess Im foolish but I’ll still wait to closer to the reconciliation before giving up home.
I don’t see a reason why the rich wouldnt keep getting richer, especially if what was said in private pans out - it’s definitely disappointing.

I agree with all your points, I think I’m looking at it the way I am so it feels like somewhat of a win and less of a “more of the same” that it actually is.
While I do enjoy some of the policy changes this is shaping up to be far from what I had hoped with a mostly Democratic Senate and House. I think I also had been too idealistic, believing that the party would unite more and bring in/tolerate/listen to the progressives and cast off the tiptoeing that is still occuring.
