Characterizing the weather this week as a “cold front” is ridiculous and ruins any credibility this writer might otherwise have had.
We’re living in a soft and silly time when mere inconvenience is intolerable.
Bad stuff happens. Good folks suffer the consequences. That’s been true since the beginning of time. Accept it and move on.
Right...
But when California had rolling blackouts some years ago due to periods of high temps and corrupt companies from Texas, like ENRON who were manipulating supply so they could raise prices, it was because the state was full of Communist and was a 3rd world...
When the shoe is on the other foot, it seems the bucket mouths head for the tall grass...
lol...

You’re right. Any modern politically-connected media outlet worth their salt would know that the cause of these outages was simply a brief period of less global warming.
I had company got stuck in Mt pleasant in the ice and snow for a day.
They were pretty ticked that we did not have snow plows and salt trucks to take care if this stuff.
The next day, it all melted and they got here fine.
I told them, we arent paying for all that. Its not the norm here.
Locally, they ran graders and front end loaders to clear the streets as best they could.
That is the attitude of those who live in banana republics, not free nations.
