Nah fuck that nobody should have to turn off AC until every waste of power is shut down first. I'm not dying of heat stroke so you can tell me to buy a big mac for the thousandth time like we don't know they exist.

When San Antonio had "rolling" blackouts (quoted because they never actually instituted blackouts like they were apparently scheduled to) during the snow storms in February, whole sections of the city had no power for 4-7 days and yet there were dozens of office buildings downtown with all their lights on and no one in the buildings. And we were asked to conserve our energy and not run our heat.

Edit: This comment is 12 hours old and I've had over half a dozen people tell me that those buildings were probably on a generator. Got it. The problem is that the CPS Energy building had ALL their office lights in at night while hundreds of thousands of San Antonio residents' homes were plummeting to 40 degrees or lower inside. The optics was horrible, the response was bungled, and the preparation was completely absent.

To make matters worse, the governor got on TV and blamed windmills freezing and then one of the state's senators fucked off to Mexico. The people that control the power and the narrative have the means to escape the climate-related disasters for the next few decades. The working class is expected to buy generators and solar panels, but we've been paying OUR fair share of taxes our whole lives with the expectation our government will look out for us. And they're not. They're letting us suffer and die because corporate interests are giving them money.

Just like in Vegas where they bitch at us 24/7 about our water usage, yet the strip properties use ungodly amounts. Especially on their landscape😑
