  1. City has bulldozers and the military has specialized equipment for every eventuality shows the inequality of resources between city and state. Shows the money goes into the military and very little of it goes into emergency management of cities, not just Buffalo, but across the US.

  2. When people who cannot leave and you can this will erode your conscience for life...they never expected a real estate purchase to be the source of such guilt.

  3. Such secrecy between the public on the one side and the press and police on the others side in these mass shootings about the identities of these shooters is a contradiction in this age of surveillance, technology and law suits over data breeches, that you are made to believe these activities with suspicion of a coordinated campaign of terror, made to look as they are random acts of violence, in some way are a part of a larger aim to pacify a Public.

  5. And they will never reveal what caused the explosion. It will be swept under the rug. More workplace violence. Just because it is a property that explodes does not mean this is not violence against humanity by humanity. If workers controlled production in general none of this would ever happen. Factories would be safe. All work environments would work and be conducted at a pace where people are not brutally exhausted, burned, contaminated, or dead. In fact, workers would not even use or handle dangerous toxic material but would use technology to handle it safely. Think!

  6. Amen.

  7. Government has back up resources for itself in times like this so it can continue functioning. Industry and the military has back up resources so they can continue operations without interruption. The largest churches and landowners can relocate to parts of the country into other properties they own where power is working so they can function without interruption. Banks are virtually unaffected as electronic systems can move money from branches in all parts of the world their property is highly mobile can recieve payments. Its the payer who is affected when power is down and late charges continue to incur because power is up in all banks. Merchant property is insured and they recover in due course viz a viz tax credits and allowances. Everyone but the American working people have the back up resources for themselves in times like these. Funny thing,---the merchants, banks, churches, landowners, military, industry and government are not producers of the resources they possess. They are the consumers but not they do not do the essential work themselves in making the material resources for continuing their existence in situations like we are seeing in Texas. The American working population crushed under this life threatening storm are the real producers of those resources. This failure is a crisis that magnifies the real producers get no part of the resources. If they did gandma can get out of the house and in with her niece in Chicago and not have to burden the niece's life because grandma has resources. Everyone would have resources greater than men in orange suits in a search and rescue mission for you and your family. Americans need to seriously re-evaluate whose country it is?

  8. Every president since Reagan has pandered to the religious right wing. This is the largest conspiracy working people in America ever had to face, a hostile fascist element.

  9.  @Rebel377  What stops you from building an out door fire assuming you know how and don't cause another catastrophe where you live?

  10.  @mzdankmuzik  That is because at the very local level the Nazis run your schools and towns. For example, Oakland Union Elementary School District Board Members resign after caught on a hot mic mocking parents. You have Nazis in your own middle class communities who are repressing working people and their kids from having a voice. Look it up. Contra Costa County CA. Local police, sheriffs, mayors, school board officials, infested with fascist middle class Nazis.

  11. If I were to guess I would say America has roughly 10 million of the 24 million kids the age this kid who fired at his /her teacher live in a state of crisis.

  12. What a measly share of the economic surplus children of the working class are allocated by America’s national bourgeoisie...deplorable...tax austerity measures and cuts, and puts the working class far behind where they should be!

  13. How about making education free like China and eradicate illiteracy like China and poverty?

  14. US provocations...they want a war but they want other people to fight it for them is sheer cowardice and hypocrisy.

  15.  Kraig StClair  My point exactly, use the bodies of other people to do the fighting for you is cowardice.

  16. You cannot live in places where storms of this kind occur more frequently. The disruption is too significant and the recoveries are too long. The risks are too high and the storms decimate commerce and industry. For 1.1 million people life in this region of the US will no longer be habitable.

  17. Americans do not trust their institutions, not the media, the police, the Pope, the Far Right, a parent, teacher, doctor, not even Fauci is trusted, Biden, Obama, Clinton, not the oligarchs are trusted, not Winfrey, Gates, Zuckerberg, Bezos, not even the nice old man Warren Buffet, or anything else that is institutionalized, constitutes a real and general crisis of a society that is completely nihilistic. A trust that has fallen flat on the floor ever since Eisenhower left the presidency and JKFK was shot.

  18. What angers me about American Ranchers is their intellectual immaturity, they have been complicit with Big Agribusiness for decades. They have a Me, Mine, or the Highway mentality,---narrow mindedness based on a selfish attitude about property, as long as their land was pure other land did not matter to them and they took no political stand against PFAS chemicals the industry poured into the ground as fertilizer and as a waste product for the last 75 years since the end of the second world war. The science is taken seriously only when it hits them in the pocket and they find blame on others. The American government is even less mature, on purpose! The government gets all the science from the scientists’ of leading universities in Senate Hearing testimonies. These testimonies end up as measurements on how far the private sector can get over on the American Public, they are not taken as serious recommendations from intellects. Leaders in government have no intention about regulating private industry, they give free reign to the private sector over all markets, they stand on a non-interference policy for the State, not the other way around. Government and the private sector have become wedded as one entity, the private sector has captured government, and turned government into the common enemy of sadly...society. Members of society do not have a government...private corporations and the government on one side opposed to society on the other side. This alliance will not stop to destruct and self-destruct.

  20. 1960s was the last time the US economy saw unprecedented expansion. It has been all downhill the day Gilligan’s Island went off the air stunted by longer recessions and shorter recoveries. Debt is greater than assets. Double digit inflation in the 1970s. Stagflation, when the economy is stuck at 2.3% GDP and the price of meat goes up. A short ten year period of expansion in the 80s all built on borrowed time and money. Cuts in social spending in the Crime Bill and the Welfare Reform Bill of the 1990s as preparation for the decline of the US economy foreseen in thousands of hearing testimonies to the Senate on record from economists. A bank crisis in 1990 and the Gulf War. This is the pattern ever since...crisis and war to get out of the crisis. Expanding personal debt relative to individual assets owned saw a huge gap inducing more borrowing. Working people were indentured to credit lost financial freedom in return for cheaper (China Made) consumer goods. Another bank crisis in 1995 culminating in the Subprime Crisis in 2007. Safe to say a pattern of crisis is an imminent feature of the financial credit system. The period before 1960 right out of the war (WWII) and the Great Depression seems to be the prevailing mindset that permanent war will mean permanent prosperity just not for all but will pull the US economy out of a depression. Well so far the “forever wars” have not worked to restore prosperity at the level of the 1960s. Its not that America cannot reach that level with the right leadership which, at the present time, is nowhere in sight.

  22. Grandma and grandpa were right when they said you cannot leave it to private power companies to make the conversions to the power grid to supply electric cars...they are only in it for the money.

  24. I see this as a gift for the democrats on which to run on that republicans go on a war path and make a big stink about this. It takes all eyes away from our climate catastrophe and the current recession of the economy that is survivable if you have three jobs not one. The dollar is strong only because GDP and currencies are weak. Not because the US economy is expanding, to the contrary, its contraction actually encourages more capital to invest in Asia and Russia. All this accelerates a decline of the US economy. But for now I move my money into T-Bills I do so at a loss (higher rates) but it is better than losing the whole million in the UK, Spain, Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe.
