Ever hear of this thing called a Generator?
I don't think it's safe to run a generator inside an apartment ... even if you could get gas. I know in the Rockaways, you can't.
In other parts of the City, where there is power, there is a 10 gallon limit.
I was directing my venom to those who say the power, telephone and cable companies should have a complete plant in their inventories. I used to build cable systems. They want to reconstruct what took years to build in hours.
They are ignorant idiots.
