Well I don't agree is suing, nor am I happy with our sue-happy society. However, it pisses me off how these big businesses such as power companies can get away with murder. That blackout should never have happened. Because of their neglect, my cousins restaurant suffered more than 100,000 dollars in damage and lost goods. It might go under now. Yes insurance covers it, but that takes time and staying afloat until that time is not always doable.

I don't think a personal lawsuit is the right approach, but I do think the neglecting company should hold some responsibility for its actions. I don't want to hear "oops, we're sorry". This blackout has made my personal life misery. Do I want to sue and get paid because of it? No, but I wouldn't mind getting the satisfaction that the CEO that makes 30 mil a year, has to pay out a healthy sum in retribution charges. Or that the fat, lazy union workers that were responsible for the areas of neglect get tossed out on their worthless asses and not be protected by their bogus "I can never get fired no matter how useless I am" union contract.
