Okay, we lose our power ALL the time around here. We lose it for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7 days at a time. Older folks, younger folks, all folks somehow muddle on with no power. How do we do it? Does anybody care when it happens to us? I would argue the following;
I make this argument because I'm watching this old bag on CNN saying "obama has to get the trucks to her house right now or we are going to die here, we have no power and we have three older people who will freeze to death." Well, if they didn't prepare, I guess they die. I do know that it isn't my fault. I do know that resources are constantly taken from my area because we don't have the numbers to be given priority so nobody gives a flip about us when this happens. We don't seem to die and I'm sure that nobody from CNN plays any footage about us to anyone in new jersey or new york. The drama these "people" are conveying on the TV is a giant laughable joke.
- Nobody cares when we lose our power! We are so few that nobody gives a flip when a few thousand rural Michigan people lose our power. I have been told many times by Consumers Power that my complaints have been noted but that we are few in our area so we are last to have power returned.
- We have back up plans when we lose our power, the bigger cities make us have those plans because resources are used to return their power before ours. This means that now, when we lose our power we are prepared but that our bigger cities, if they have a prolonged power outage go NUTS. They feel they have an actual right to power LMAO!
- We use Generators, blankets, kerosene heaters, wood stoves, all sorts of things to stay warm when power goes out. City folk can use blankets and kerosene heaters just like folks used to before we had electricity but that's beneath them I guess.
I call cry baby, sissy, wimp, and pussy to anyone, short of being on dialysis, who can't make it without power for a month. Buck up, suck it up, shut up, and move on.
