Common sense and critical thinking tell me that the restoration of power to lower Manhattan will significantly free up labor resources. A few hours of a long since scheduled marathon that generates millions of dollars, but cuts off local trafiic in intervals, is a sound economic decision.
Do you live in NYC?
I have a friend that lives on Long Island.
Tried calling him but all I get is a msg saying his voice mail is full.
I hope he's alright. Things were tough for him even before the storm hit.
