Ted, it's one thing to deny that there was a union-ordered work slowdown. The burden of proof in on me. But it's another thing to come out and say that this was the "biggest snow storm in decades," then attack anyone who doesn't accept your B.S. at face value. But you proved my point.......its the second biggest [by 2 inches]snowstorm since the 1980s. Seriously, what is wrong with you. It was a big snowstorm......much bigger than normal. That means the response won't be as effective as with a typical smaller storm. That's just plain common sense. As the facts bear out, there have been FIVE other snowstorms that were just as big in the NYC area over the past three decades. Yet somehow the public services of the NYC government was able to shovel their way out of them. Yes, 5 over 30 years. Both gov'ts and companies don't plan for the 30 year or 100 year storm.....they plan for the typical storm because that is far more cost effective. Tell me Ted, what's different about the most recent one? The answer should be obvious. There is nothing different. Just government failing to do its job. Ten, you know less than I thought. Get out of that big bureaucracy of yours and run something in the real world. Then you won't be quite so naive.
