it's not that obama doens't care. it's not that the NY sate govt and local officials arne't trying.
It's an issue of there being a shitload of damage. They're working to fix it, but seriously, millions of people without power is going to happen, and it's going to take a week. We go thru it in FL almost every year - power goes down for a few hours or a few days. NYers are acting like Obama is personally golfing with the electric company workers lol, with bloomberg pouring sodas.
it's a lot of damage, and it takes a lot of time to fix.
Exactly. Sometimes 3-4x in one hurricane season. These people had
plenty of warning that the storm was coming and they had plenty of time to prepare: buy supplies, water, gas up their cars, etc. Most of them chose not to do so and now they are stuck. Choices have consequences.
I feel bad for the homes that were destroyed and people who lost everything, but not having power for a few days and running out of gas . . .
