What the flying fuck is wrong with Texa$?
I mean, how much time do you have?
Texa$:Amerikkka::Amerikkka:World
no video of any incidents, tbh this seems like centerpoint trying to shift the blame for their negligence onto locals
My understanding is these are the out of state workers dealing with these issues. Edit: but to be fair I really don't know. Saw a guy in tiktok who looked like a line worker saying he's never coming back of TX needs help in the future.
Yep
why would someone film that though? If I was in that situation my first instinct would be to remove myself from the situation and not aggravate the person pointing a gun at me.
people film in similar situations all the time, if it were such a common occurrence it would be reasonable to expect at least some actual evidence. centerpoint has been fucking this up every single day, linemen aren't being given work and are sitting idle in parking lots and it's been extremely well reported locally so everybody knows it's management causing problems, not work crews.
also, if people are coming out of their houses with guns brandishing them, well that's a crime and they're doing it at their houses so there would be arrests.
Heard about this just this morning on Boonta Vista, I can't believe people are distracting the linesmen by bring them mint juleps while wearing flimsy negligees and trying to suck them off.
(That was their joke, but they did address both people being gun wielding get off my property types and that the companies might be making excuses for lack of infrastructure)
Taking a flimsy story about 5 incidents and using it to paint a city of 7 million as bad people strikes me as unfair social media bullshit.
5 incidents is fucking nuts. There wouldn't even be a single one in a civilised country, fucksake
I agree to a degree but I have been seeing the line workers subreddit and it seems like Texas has a very low number of crews working. Like 30 at any given time because they are working a strict rotation where they aren't being afforded overtime pay along with not having per diem. So I know do why this is being brought up but it's not for the reasons this story wants to portray. The reason these lineworkers are in any danger is because doing more would hurt the bottom line of
I met someone with a gun once on a job. Thankfully the kid had some great trigger discipline and pointed me towards the plot I was working on.
Can't help but wonder if an alienated and paranoid people are even more high-strung after a hurricane.
I like to imagine they took the gun out specifically to use it to point you in the right direction.
I have nothing nice to say about Tex@$$. Shithole state.
Shithole country
