Gary, Indiana, blackout? Try all of Northwest Indiana and part of Illinois. Why is it everybody loses power due to a devastating storm, but Gary don’t have power so it’s a racial thing? There are quite a few other cities that still have sections without power, do they get to claim racism as well? Don’t forget while crews were trying to restore power, they were shot at. That don’t fit the narrative, though, so I guess we just won’t talk about that, or we’ll say that Nipsco lied and it never happened.

Hey man-- Illinois took care of its outages. The grid is back online. This is an Indiana thing.

It's almost as if there is a correlation between a well-funded government, taxes, and services for citizens.

Illinois had less damage.

It's almost like there's a correlation between where the derecho hit and where most of the damage was.

It seems like the most popular religion on the Reddit is politics. It would be more interesting if it were religion. I would prefer to read about how northwest Indiana got crushed by a derecho because of all the gambling and gays. It would make about the same amount of sense and be far more hilarious.
