I have seen some of the callousness from both sides of the Texas floods. I live in hill country. Not everyone voted for this…further no one voted to lose their child to a 30ft wall of water while away at summer camp. No one voted to lose their homes and businesses. This flood exposes again the failure of Texas to plan for disasters- failed early warning systems, electric grid failures, and failure to plan for future water needs(we were in a stage 5 drought before this storm). As Americans the response needs to be one of compassion and extending an olive branch to collectively demand better. Perhaps use the tragedy to find a common fight.
