Frustration Forming
I'm listening to WNYC right now. It's my local NPR station. Very weird call-in program. The host is trying to make this a happy show. She's asking for cheery anecdotes about how people are coping with the outage. But she's just now getting a wave of really angry people. They're mad at the government for letting this happen, they're blasting nuclear power and some woman just called to say she hasn't had any water in her building -- and she's not at the top level of a high rise. The host of the show totally dismissed the callers and reiterated she's looking for happy stuff. All the angry callers, as you may guess, don't yet have their power back.
