I saw a local TV news report of an FPL crew having use a crane to hoist a wooden power pole over a house to the backyard to replace a broken pole.

The report stated that the fix would restore power to just four homes. That's a lot of effort for four homes.

Exactly, kristinn. Apparently many of our fellow citizens are deeply unaware of what is required every day to maintain basic services. And don’t show much interest in learning. Publix, Winn Dixie, 7-11 etc.are not government, but they’re service businesses. It’s unsettling to see how little is understood about the practicalities of life.

Our state was mostly without power for days, the damage to grids and substations was monumental. It’s not that I don’t feel sympathy for people still dark. I do - I’ve been there. Just your example alone shows the work involved in restoring to a few houses.

I’m seeing there are many people who are uneducated, gullible and demanding. They drive cars on the same roads we do. They vote. They throw drinks in the face of someone helping them.
