1. I do too - especially because they are in a state that won't give them the time of day
"Y'all ain't got no money? Get the hell out!"

2. wonder if they have a shelter at all besides family/friends if that

vehicles, tents, gymnasiums, sports arenas?

clothing, bathing?

I don't have TV so haven't seen any reports.

3. Surely the Texas GOP will remind them that if they're homeless, it's entirely their own fault?

4. Cut the FF Forces and see houses bgo up in flames. Happens every time Gov't fucks
with the NFPAs Standards re manpower.

FFs are like your Nat Guard....but activated 24/7

Honolulu is just like Texas w re to FF Staffing....cuts cuts and more cuts led us to reduced staffing...

But every city who follows this reduction... risks the BIG FAIL as does Texas today...what with this Extended Drought... most likely a sign of climate change

6. Excessive drought should automatically trigger HIRING
not layoffs..
