re: #2 KingKenrod

Based on news stories from legitimate journalists, here’s what really happened: At 10AM Wednesday, two of the five lines that provide power to downtown Detroit failed. The city started calling their customers to tell them to turn of their AC and reduce power usage to protect the remaining lines. At 12:45PM a third line failed - that was when the city decided to cut the power to public buildings, to protect the remaining 2 lines.

Concur. “They weren’t acting fast enough” doesn’t mean “They needed to be taught a lesson”, what it means is that “Consumption of electricity was still too high, so we had to cut power before the system failed completely”. But of course that won’t be the story to leftists who just want to paint the emergency manager and his staff and ogres and the population of Detroit as helpless victims.
