So, NYC businesses lost millions of dollars due to Chicken Little DeBlasio ordering NYC closed down for only four inches of snow.

And we are to believe the so called climatologists that make 100 year weather predictions and cannot even make a competent weather forecast only 12 hours away.

I’m still trying to figure out what the point was in shutting down the subways.

He completely altered the lives of millions of people and that's his response?

Shouldn't he be incensed that the "meteorolgists" got it so wrong???

"Better Safe than Sorry"

That's the story of our society today. The media whips up hysteria about the weather or some other "threat" and then the government acts and if it turns out that the action was overblow, we get "better safe than sorry."

“We thought we were going to get something much bigger,” Mr. de Blasio told CNN

************

This from the person who expects the police to be right 100% of the time.

Every year it’s the same thing. The media obsess over the weather, and cause everybody to shut everything down.

Humans have put men on the moon and rockets on Mars. They operate on brains and replace hearts. But they have created a transportation system that becomes an utter failure when there is more than 1 inch of snow.

Something tells me they wished so badly for this to be the man-made global warming/climate change event of the century.

Here on the Gulf Coast we get the same kind of histerical warnings. The only people who should evacuate from a hurricane are those close to the coast that will be affected by the storm surge. Instead people who are safe in their homes and should stay put, get out on the roads and the traffic is so bad that no one can go any where. I know people who sat in their cars, stuck in traffic for 9 hours or more. They finally turned around and were back home in 30 minutes.

Politics aside, if I was the mayor, I'd try to keep people out of the streets too, so that the snow removal people can do their job and bring the city back to normal much quicker.

This is the 21st century people. Most people can work from their homes via VPN connection to their corporate networks. Conference calls can still be done. Webinars. Online training can be done. Emails can be exchanged, reports can still be written...in fact, considering my current job, I can't think of a single task I can't do from home except actually meeting somebody face to face.

Why millions of people in NYC (any city for that matter) have to clamber into their automobiles and risk life and limb on the highways to get to an office on a snowy day (even if it's only a few inches) is beyond me. Just keep those people home. Get the roads cleared and bring them back to the office the next day.

All my employees are off the road today but I have assigned them training courses to take while they sit at home. Now when they come back to work tomorrow, they'll be refreshed and their training will be mostly up to date.

Contrast to that to if I made them drive to the office this morning. It would take some of them four hours to get to the office, after which they'd be exhausted and would be bitching to their co-workers the rest of the day about it. They would basically be useless to me productivity wise. Then a bunch of them would call in sick the next day.

On top of that, some of them would probably be involved in automobile accidents, resulting in yet more missed time.

Unless you have a job where you need to be at a certain place (i.e. you work in a hospital or you are a police officer, etc.) then STAY OFF THE ROADS when it is snowing.

New York elected a dumbass mayor, and help elect a dumbass president. I guess that makes New Yorkers collectively dumbasses.
