  1. We are in 2024 already.

    How can a relatively mild storm cause so much damage? Why haven't they figured out how to build a storm-proof electrical grid? We need to pass laws making these outages cost the electric companies too much to ignore.

  2. Why are so many brand new houses and basements flooding? Why are the building codes so lax as to allow such garbage to be built for human habitation?
