Could the Obama admin get any more inept? Under Bush, FEMA had

"Stimulus".


Are you really as stupid as this post as yours? If there is
ineptness, it is on the part of the probably privately owned power
companies serving Kentucky. Despite their gouging their customers for
years, they obviously have not spent enough on training and equipment
to meet the needs of their customers in case of weather emergencies.
It's just another private sector failure.


Harry, your reply is just as stupid IMO. Kentucky isn't exactly an
area that
experiences regular winter ice storms like those of this winter.
The power companies rely on mutual assistance from other states for
this type
of aberation.

Well, then, you certainly cannot rely on privately owned power
companies, can you? Or publicly owned power companies, either. In fact,
these days, you cannot rely on much of anything.




That's your problem. You and your union pals are forced to "rely" on
others rather than taking care of yourselves. You can't get any farther
left than that...
