Saw this earlier this morning. Was not surprised it was Texas. Government there doesn’t really care about the citizens and is most concerned about keeping power.

Public reports of basic civic failures that cause sickness and death would obviously be silenced.

Notice the lack of urgency by the mayor and other authorities, and the fact she had to file a civil case to get any response at all.

The movie Brazil was supposed to be absurdist. It was not a model for governance.
