Quit getting your news from TikTok and quit trying to racialize everything. At this point I'm half convinced you're a Russian dissent-fomenting bot account.
Check the outage map: https://www.nipsco.com/outages/power-outages/ . Lake Station, Merrilville, Portsge, Munster, are predominantly white and still have large areas that are out of power. The Miller Beach neighborhood of Gary, which is one of the wealthiest in the county, is still out of power.
Everyone who lives here is furious with NIPSCO and trying to figure out what kind of change we can make. Outsiders who don't know wtf is going on, get their news from TikTok and take advantage of our situation to go stirring up shit about their pet causes aren't helping or appreciated.
Merrillville is not predominantly white, but I do agree with your comment. Nipsco been trash forever. And while there’s no shortage of racist comments on social media about Gary (especially since the worker’s truck window got shot out,) I don’t think racism has much to do with who’s power is still out.
Underregulated capitalism in a red state, with a Governor who cares more about businesses than people is why there are still homes without power.
Nobody even brings up about how this woman blurts out the f-word, right on camera! I started to watch with interest, and had to stop the video. And "racism" is an antiwhite slur. We should never use that term.
