I agree.

In fact, it was one of the most successful geoengineering events of all time.
And it serves several purposes, one of which is to prevent the building of the much needed wall on our southern border.
It will be politically impossible now for Mr. Trump to finance the wall as he and the Congress will be trapped into spending much needed money on rebuilding Houston and all of the surrounding towns which are being literally decimated by a completely unnatural rain event. The atmosphere has never held this much moisture and the particulate matter which is now aloft means the water content is unnaturally heavy. Look for more of these manufactured events by the geoengineers who use these events for political as well as financial gain.

Very sad situation.

Just another example of Politians allowing "price gouging" for corporations. Guarantee the oil companies will not lose money along with the Politians investments in oil. But the little man loses.

Joe, Sometime back I wrote a story about Cato and other jobbers gouging the general public on gasoline. I was told I, even after being involved in the transportation of fuel, didn't know what I was talking about. I think the rube who wrote the rebuttal will be VERY inconspicuous after this storm.
Firstly, the bulk of the fuel produced in Texas amounts to 12% of the nations reserve. Secondly, the fuel that we use here mostly comes via
water transportation from several LOCAL refineries and
those situated in the North Jersey and Pennsylvania areas. Granted SOME of the gas we use comes on the Texas Eastern pipeline from the South but minimally because Gasoline will become 'flat' when it travels too far by pipe and re-refining is necessary. The cost of this procedure is added to the consumer thus causing fluxuation in the market price.
Even with all this the jobber/distributor just CAN'T resist the chance to gouge the consumer to keep their profits HIGH just like the water in Texas.
There's a special place for them in Hell because Satan uses SOME of their precious 'GAS' to stoke the fire,(At a wholesale Price).
