    A hurricane has a serious impact on the people and infrastructure of a state. A governor unwilling to put an emergency among the people he was elected to represent ahead of a foreign investment trip deserves every drop of the outrage that he brings upon himself.

    This is an example of when outrage is real and deserved rather than manufactured. Your hand waving is out of place.

      Whether he deserves “every drop of outrage” is subjective, so hard to argue with you on that.

      However, you’re arguing here a case of priorities, one I agree with.

      But the top level poster is claiming that he’s going on vacation instead. Which is not reasonable. It’s basically lying. Which is my point: it’s not about being reasonable (in your case pointing out misplaced priorities), it’s about being as outraged as possible (spinning it into a vacation).

      You seem like a reasonable person, so don’t defend this garbage.
