Sid Miller, commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture, says that not only are the state’s dairy farmers dumping milk into their wastewater ponds, but feed mills also are shut down because of a lack of natural gas — so poultry and dairy farms can’t get any feed.

1. Oh no, I hope they don't lose any of their livestock.

This is going to be devastating.

2. All because tptb didn't want the expense of cold wrapping pipes

3. Its not surprising, that republicans have screwed up so badly, since the only criteria that they

have for anyone running for an elected office is kissing Industry's feet and having a foul mouth.

I'm sorry to hear about.the suffering and the deaths associated w/ this storm, but I am livid that the state (and corresponding state government and Industry that the state republicans bowed to and worshiped) let so many things get screwed up so badly. I haven't heard of any national guard units being activated. I haven't heard of any emergency measures by the state of TX to do anything (at least not yet).

All I've heard is republicans trying to play the blame game and little else.
