Those that live in hurricane country do if the rebs don’t vote not to.

We’ll the ‘yankees’ didn’t decide to forego cold weather maintenance.

It’s not the same complaint. It just the starting point for complaining,

And yet…

In NYC at the moment trying to get home to Detroit, flights are being bumped right and left but surprisingly, the roads are almost completely cleaned up just the day after. Heck, 2 hours after it stopped snowing I went to dinner with some colleagues and the roads were already plowed. These guys seem to handle snow just fine.

Government money something something. NYC Dept of Sanitation is run pretty well but at the end of the day it’s the double overtime ie government money that keeps them clean.

We even have plows for the bike lanes.

Being originally from the Northeast and having lived in TN, FL, CA. I tend to give them a break on snow removal. Their DOT’s aren’t equipped for large scale snow removal and the annual maintenance costs associated with having enough heavy trucks, hydraulic plow attachments, and drivers to get the job done.

What resources they do have normally have to concentrate on main roads and auxillary roads are a secondary consideration.

The most corrupt city departments are often run well to keep the public appeased.

May be. There is some level of corruption whenever government is involved but then again same can be said for private entities

Fossil fuel fetishists saw an opportunity for propoganda and did most of the mocking last time.

Of course. I just have some personal experience with the NYC sanitation department and it’s not a pretty story. Shocking in fact.

So do I, i agree to some extent.

Well if Alex Epstein said so…

That’s just the source. No reason to quote the other members on this forum who were mocking this exact thing.

Lots of posters were really smug about the power outage while it was still possible to blame the windmills for it without looking foolish. Not many yankees in that crowd.

Oh! You’re under the impression wind didn’t fail?

And yet what?

Sometimes mother nature wins even when you’re prepared. Texas didn’t do that. I’ll bet they did some upgrades since they caught with their pants down though.
