When we lose power, many people whine after a while. Real infrastructure expenditures can reduce this. However, we are a corrupted cesspool wasting resources like no other nation. When we see those guys and their trucks it is respected even if aggravated. At times perhaps maybe some people see the lights on across the street or close by while they are still in the dark. And it stays that way for days. Attacking the workers is not going to fix it though. Imagine the Islands say in the Carribean area without power for months or longer.
