There are general strikes happening all over the US this Saturday!

Edit for grammer :)

Why? This is the kind of "reporting" we always see after the US bombs people.

It says the "bad people" are "allegedly" doing something we think might be scary. It aims to plant seeds in our minds that the houthi's are the new terrorist group of the year and our tax dollars need to go towards bombing them out of existence. Personally, I'm tired of the working class funding a war machine, that only serves imperialist interests, while we're left trying to live off of scraps.

Right. The US does 1000x more of this kind of stuff, but we're supposed to read this propaganda piece like "OoOOoh these brown people 10k miles away might be doing something scary! Better support our gov indiscriminately bombing them!"

Nice try propagandists. We are not our parents and grandparents.

The Texas grid is just better.

As a Texan who has lost power, for weeks at a time, 4 times in the last 10 years, I disagree. I live near a major city and we lose power almost every time there's strong wind, rain, or sub-freezing temps. Maybe you're just lucky to live where you live? I've lived all over my city, and it's surrounding suburbs, and it's been pretty much the same everywhere.
