I live in the South and this cold snap is nothing new. In fact in my area we reach lows like this every single year.

The major difference this year is that our outdated infrastructure and massive population growth simply cannot handle any sort of strain. It’s abysmal how behind this nation is infrastructure wise.

It makes a bit more sense when you consider the US is the only developed nation that is still growing, and doing so pretty quickly, all things considered.
