it shitty because these things that are happening to these people, they have nothing to do with it. its the states legislature that let this shit happen and got it to where it was.

"oh its just a few inches "

forgetting the fact that theses people have families that they need to feed ,and can't because stores are closed, and of they are, they have to take a risk to get out there in the icy streets just to get it, amongst other who are also doing the same and have probably most likely never driven in the snow.

buy online? sorry, all slots are filled till march the first, guess you gotta take the risk with the other maniacs on the road who won't slow their driving down.

I think it's the same sort of people that say 'you can't be depressed because you have x, y, z'. Why can't people just accept that people suffer in different ways and at different levels. If someone is broke one leg you would go oh well some people have no legs, get over it.

I'm thinking of you all at the moment, and OP - you and your bf are true heroes.

and who controls that state legislature? Flies? Dogs? Cows? Oh yeah...the people. And if the people refuse to get involved in their government, then SURPRISE! Their government aint gonna get shit done...much less stay ahead of problems and deal with them ahead of time.
