I ran across a tree trimming crew filling up their truck at a convenience store just west of STL about a week ago. They said that they just returned from the NYC area where they spent long days handling down trees for the electric utility and spent their nights almost camped out at a nearby college. they were fed by the Red Cross. They looked tired.

They also told them that one of their crew was assaulted while working and had his jaw broken.

If there is another disaster anytime soon, do you smug people in NYC think the rest of us will be as eager to come to your aid? You vote like you worship big government. Let big government rescue you!

From what I've read in articles about the areas that surround NYC, they are mostly Republican. This destruction sounds like union thugs to me.

I live in Western New York and the suburbs around cities is predominately Republican or Conservative. Just because the cities are controlled by the Democrats doesn't mean we like it. In some districts, there are not enough Republican's to control the elections.

During the Governor race (Cuomo) I noticed quite a few thugs hanging around my polling place. Never noticed that happening in the past.

I had thought of joining a group to go help with disasters in a couple of years when I retire. No more.

I'm well equipped, as a ham radio operator, logger, have a Unimog, generators, and equipment and skills for such things.

After reading here and elsewhere how things are getting, I'll be doing other things now.
