Of all the cuts that they could make, this is the area that had me pacing the floor the most.
Making those cuts with no apology just shows how much they pay attention to the weather or climate change.
WTH?
Besides which, if God wants people in Kentucky to die in violent & unanticipated storms, then who are we, as mere mortals, to interfere with His plan?
In a severe weather event, that office was staffed. Likely by someone working a double and with help from nearby offices. They still make sure the work is done.
Losers!
It's one thing to think someone is trying and failing because of incompetence, but its altogether different when they repeat the same actions that obviously have harmful results.
The goal is to harm.
