Did the people from New Orleans move to NYC?

TV news coverage from New York is buzzing with the "peoples’ outrage" that Bloomberg and the "government" hasn’t come to "help us yet".

Pictures show NO ONE going out in front of their homes to shovel snow. They are inside just WAITING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. Isn’t this what led to the death of fools in New Orleans, people sitting around doing nothing to take care of THEMSELVES?

We had record snow last year, and 3 neighbors and myself used our snow blowers to clear the majority if our street and sidewalks. How come the people in NYC aren’t doing anything?
Even if you live in an apartment, if everyone went out and shoveled the sidewalk in front of their building (only), then they could get around.

I’m also talking about the pictures where people dug around their cars, but not the street. I’m just saying… 3 days after the fact, it becomes APPARENT that you need to take some action yourself.

NYC had more snow than snowplows could manage, and the mayor apologized. Also, using your idea (rant?) of people shoveling the streets, where then, would they put the snow as they shovel it?

Your statement: "Isn’t this what led to the death of fools in New Orleans, people sitting around doing nothing to take care of THEMSELVES?", shows how extremely naive you are. There is nothing foolish about being trapped on your roof while sudden – and massive – torrents of water inundate your neighborhood.
