Thanks, HL27.
I went looking for a video and found this one from today:

I’m only 30 seconds in, so maybe there is some interesting info to process there, but what made me stop short is this: WHY IS DEBLASIO HOLDING A PRESSER ON THIS???????
If the power were still out and people were complaining, I’d understand. If there were a lot of deaths (or even 1 death) I’d understand. AFAIK there weren’t any deaths or injuries due to the outage. If anyone knows otherwise, please post because I missed it.
When a power outage - at least one that’s relatively brief - is over, the average citizen is completely uninterested. They’re just glad they’ve got their power back. I’ve never heard of anyone holding a press conference about such a thing before. The fact that he did (before I even look at his demeanor or what he actually said), make me wonder WHY? What is he covering up?
And I see from Youtube that it went on for 35 minutes! That’s a whole lot of hot air about something that oughta be a nothing burger.
Is this the biggest issue in NYC today? Were people demanding answers? Hmmmm.
He talks about New Yawka’s being the toughest most resilient people.
Wow, they survived 5 whole hours sans electricity.
Whoop-ti-do.
It’s because it was the anniversary of the infamous summer power outage in 1969 where the yutes went crazy and it turned into a big ‘ol riot.
