Where's the Outrage at Seattle's Snow Shutdown?
Hundred-car pileups on skating-rink roads, unsalted downtown sidewalks with people falling on their asses left and right, bridge closures stranding people at home, a sub-skeletal bus fleet where the coaches fill up too fast to pick up most would-be passengers anyway (and in terms of routing and frequency, is doing its best to mimic Grand Cayman's legalized-hitchhiker transit system) .
