do you see what's the uh thing that happened in uh texas with that governor did
you see that the
mayor wrote that note texas mayor tells residents can you zoom in there you go
thank you uh let me
see by tuesday morning the residents of colorado city texas were getting
anxious more than 24 hours
had passed since a deadly arctic blast knocked out power across the state
residents turned to
a community facebook group to ask whether the small town plan to open warming
shelters while
others wondered if firefighters could do their job without water colorado's
mayor chimed in
um less than comforting message he said no one owes you or your family anything
mayor tim boyd wrote i'm sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout
what uh that the lazy
residents find their own ways of procuring water and electricity immediately
drew backlash later on
tuesday boyd announced his resignation and admitted he could have used better
word how do you procure
electricity like what right okay uh highlighted how one of the worst winter
storms in decades is
testing the limits of the embrace of self-sufficiency and rugged individualism
in texas so it's a good
question man like i don't know you know i was thinking about this the other day
um so will you
grab me an extra water by chance you want thanks man um how would you do
survival well i was thinking
about this the other day so i'm talking to my friend in in louisiana and he
said oh there's rolling
blackouts so some friends are coming over tonight because we have power tonight
right i said okay
that's interesting so it made me think like what if the power company i'll take
the death
so thanks brother so what if the power company like like the power company is
not a guarantee for
like it's a it's part of society that we've gotten to we're lucky enough to
have like this thing this
structure you know but yeah like what if it went out like so i don't know where
this mayor was coming
from i mean that's probably certainly the best way to word things if you're the
leader but i mean if
it's people sitting in a home they're freezing to death yeah and it's you know
at some point you
have to start a fire for yourself or you have to go to somebody's house that
like you have to also
take action true but you don't want your leader to be like every man for
himself that's basically not
the message you know what i mean but that's a great point you know your leader
is supposed to be
your leader let everybody else panic but if you're panicking it's it's over you
know i but it's one
thing to tell people to get water because there's snow outside so you know
there's moisture you can
figure that out procure your own electricity look i mean i wouldn't even if i
would first of all i
have to google procure i don't know exactly what it means i think i do i think
it's how you treat ham
go back get that back open yeah let's go back to the yeah uh at least 10 deaths
in texas have been
linked to the winter storm since monday according to used chronicle so yeah i
mean it's wild i think
i think maybe this guy was probably just upset about other stuff and probably
attached it to this yeah
but if you were going to procure your own electricity what would be your first
move i'd probably get a
generator gas power generator oh or i would start burning stuff i mean it's
tough that's one of the
things burn it outside because this the storm is obviously gonna oh that's a
good point but you
can't burn it inside either because of the gas yeah yeah yeah you know what i
mean so the heat
that's the thing that i i don't know exactly how people were doing it unless
you had the generator
right so yeah i think that's a good point so i guess maybe they're thinking
yeah fine other people
that have generators i guess it's also tough with this kind of article you don't
know if people's cell
phones are still working you don't know if the roads are able that people can
drive on
um i wish they knew or they would say what set this man off but yeah if you're
the leader i think
you probably got to find a better way to lead yeah you can't you can't come out
and be like hey you
pussies procure some electricity i'm like what i don't even know what that
means man i don't have
electricity to google procure so you're gonna have to break it down for me a
little better yeah but if
you're in your house yelling first help but you also have legs at work it's
like then that's on you
also but i think one of the big issues we have in america today theo is that
people have forgotten
that two things can be true at the same time yeah two things can be true at the
same time you know
whether you're talking about this pandemic where two things can be true at the
same time do masks cure
everything nah they don't you can still get it if you have a mask yeah but is
it possible that they
help yeah right so there's two things people are saying you're yelling at each
other and both of what
you and i are saying are the same are true you know i mean it's possible for
two things to be true
this also should you wait to die no but is it up to you to procure electricity
yeah probably not not
at first yeah do you know what i mean like so i think that's the thing like we've
we've lost the
ability to go yeah that can be true what i'm saying is also true but that can
be true also yeah there's
no there's no room for two sets of truths right which most things have yeah
most things have two
sides and most of the time both those sides have truth to them yeah that's why
people are so it's
so easy to to pick a side now right we're so tribal now it's not that there
aren't we can't find facts
there are too many facts available yeah so i can find a fact that'll back up
whatever the fuck i want
to tell you is true i can find a fact online an article online a news site
online that'll back
me up you know what that does that makes me seem smart that gives me a fucking
hill to stand on so
i never have to listen to you oh yeah do you know what i mean i just saw it
online and everybody in
your echo chamber says the same thing so it must be true but both two things
can be true at the same
time yeah that's a good point man hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch
another and you can
watch this one you can watch this one different options different choices some
guy just brings you
one option not this guy two options watch one this one or this one
