"Are they able to blame him for their current mess, or do they blame it on some amorphous governmental unit, or simply attribute it to an act of God?" A bit of all three. Not a clue as to how it will evolve, the local economies were hit hard. Now the contractors are currently making out like bandits, literally. And prices for almost everything have gone through the roof. That, combined with the refinery workers and those working on offshore platforms being out of work for extended times means Christmas isn't going to be kind. When that starts to sink in, no telling how things will go.
