As many of you know Seattle has had a weather disaster with snow and ice for the past week. Well my power went out along with the Safeway store both mine and SW got our power back at 3:45am this morning. After digging my car out this morning I went to SW for a few things and gas for the car.
The difference between those who lost power and those who didn't in my town was whether your power line were underground or overhead. So I was going through the checkout and was talking weather with another customer who didnt lose power and he said he was glad that I got my power back on after 17 hours. I then mentioned that a great jobs bill would be to employ people burying our power lines thus ending for the most part the $$$$$$$ losses that happens when the power goes out.Plus the other related jobs it would create.
Well the cashier who's conservative husband just won a seat to the city council heard the conversation and looked over toward me and said how would that help the economy and just had that .... "JEEZ I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY LOOK" on her face. it was like she was saying with her face how come liberal/progressives always have the good ideas??
It was priceless.
