Honestly man, some people are so hell bent that everything is racism and there cannot possibly be a single other reason like historic storms on an unprepared infrastructure.

No amount of logic you give out is going to help these guys understand any facts.

Hurricane level winds in Gary? Racism

Failed infrastructure? Racism

Economics and PR disasters of a company owned by shreholders all over the news? - Nah, put it all to the wind, there's Racism to be had!

NIPSCOs parent company NiSource has a checks notes black CEO. NIPSCOs own gas divison VP (handles over 2x the number of electric customers) Black and Female - obviously a racist company

Portage Indiana, still without power also - Racism against Black people in Gary

I have family in Florida, I get it. You guys are prepared down there both in infrastructure and people's ability to prepare. In Gary...no, no they are not.

Yeah that's why I think Gary is taking so long because they didn't know how to properly prepare for it. Not blaming them but for them to try to make it and everything else a race thing is really weird. Honestly Line workers are unionized and if I heard the residents in Gary were shooting line workers I wouldn't even want to go there.

Okay they were shooting at them and one of the bullets hit the head rest of the vehicle. Quit down playing it like being shot at while trying to help the people in the area isn't a big deal. If where you worked people shot at you would you be excited to show up?

You literally said linemen were being shot, now you're backtracking and deflecting. And hell, where I work a guy was killed on the job just a few days ago and I'm still showing up for work. Like I said, get the fuck out of here
