    Surprised that anyone with juice in Texas gives a fuck about birds but you go, little dudes. Now let’s try human rights.

      They don’t. Even Austin which has a lot of progressive minds wouldn’t be the reason this is happening… it’s cheaper to turn the lights out and commercial leases are bombing. This is a nice byproduct to be sure … but reality is this is a financial move not a greener earth move.

        Yeah but look at all this sweet sweet PR juice they are squeezing out of “we shut the lights off in the building because nobody’s there so it saves us money”

        I live in Texas. Please shit on my government. I don’t want to end up getting locked up for being gay when the supreme Court invalidates Lawrence v. Texas under the same logic as Roe. Right to bodily autonomy is the underpinning and the anti-sodomy law is still on the books.

        Nah, they deserve nonstop shitting on. Not killing doesn’t give them any pass for being told their are a bunch of fuckwads. Tell em daily until they pull a 180

      They couldn’t be bothered to turn anything off when the power grid was overtaxed. So I have my doubts they will do this either.

        See then it was the plebs without power… now it’s financial institutions getting left with the price of electricity on dying commercial property.

        It’s a weak showing if you suggest you’re doing it to save costs … but if you’re getting “free press” for doing it to save the ecosystem … completely acceptable. Line goes up.
