When I see a photo of a Chinese officer crouched down breaking ice on the sidewalk with an ax made from a small ax-like head stuck on a bamboo stick, I don't think there's any comparison between their capabilities for dealing with severe weather, and the US.
When I browse through many photographs of the snow in China and there isn't one image of a plow, or any image of chain saws removing downed trees, or repair crews fixing anything, I don't think there's any comparison between China's abilities in storm relief, and the US.
Because you know if the Chinese govt had any relief photos to show other than soldiers piling bales of whatever onto trucks, we would see them.

The agreed-upon narrative was of ‘brave Americans stoically enduring the misery.

Actually I remember hysterical news reports of murders, rapes and mayhem (all Bush's fault) when quite the opposite was true.

Not quite what I remember...

Shep Smith of Fox news screaming about people dieing on overpasses, no water, dead bodies floating in water...

Don’t remember anything about stoic at all.

One big difference, we don’t keep hundreds of thousands of slave laborers in slave quarters in Chicago, only to let them return to there homes in Atlanta once a year.

MSG has even been linked to over eating and obesity. I have found anything with MSG will cause problems for me. I usually avoid it like the plague. I just don’t enjoy a cramping stomach and long visits to the bathroom. It is even used in salads in restaurants. I have been eating Campbell soups for over 50 years and never had any trouble. I started having cramps after eating some types of their soup. When I checked the label, I discovered that MSG or flavor enhancers were listed. I have no problem when those ingredients are not listed.

You are right. Mayhem and murder constituted the MSM's story, and they were going to stick with it through hell or high water.
