Winter Storm Fern: Just Another Excuse for Government Overreach?

Folks, it’s happening again. The so-called 'Winter Storm Fern' is rolling into Austin, and Mayor Kirk Watson is already sounding the alarm—or should I say, sounding the alarmist propaganda? That’s right, the same city council that can’t fix potholes without a taxpayer-funded study is now demanding you stay off the roads because of a little ice. Coincidence? I think not.

Watson and his cronies held a 'news conference' (read: taxpayer-funded fear-mongering session) to warn us about the dangers of… checks notes… cold weather. In January. Groundbreaking stuff, folks. But here’s the kicker: they’re issuing a 'preemptive disaster declaration.' That’s bureaucrat-speak for 'we want an excuse to spend your money and control your movements.'

And let’s talk about their ridiculous 'Four Ps'—People, Pets, Plants, and Pipes. Oh, but wait! Watson just had to add a fifth P: 'Plan.' Because apparently, Austinites are too dumb to figure out that ice is slippery without government intervention. Next thing you know, they’ll be mandating that we wear helmets to bed in case a snowflake falls on our heads.

Meanwhile, CapMetro—the same geniuses who can’t run a bus on time when it’s 75 degrees and sunny—are shutting down at 4 p.m. 'for safety.' Translation: 'We don’t want to be liable when our drivers inevitably slide into a ditch because we didn’t salt the roads properly.' And don’t even get me started on the airport staff 'staying overnight' to 'safely arrive for their shifts.' Wow, what heroes! Meanwhile, the rest of us peasants are expected to fend for ourselves.

But here’s the real question: Why are we trusting the same people who botched the 2021 freeze to handle this one? Remember when the 'experts' told us the grid was fixed? Yeah, me neither. And now they want you to sign up for 'emergency alerts'—AKA more government surveillance disguised as 'public safety.' Wake up, sheeple! This isn’t about the weather. It’s about control.

So stock up on water, food, and ammo (because let’s be real, the looters will be out in force), and prepare for the inevitable collapse of civilization—or at least another round of city-mandated panic. Stay vigilant, Austin. The deep state wants you cold, scared, and dependent. Don’t let them win.
