We need answers to why so many died in the Buffalo storm

The death toll from the blizzard in Buffalo keeps rising and is now at least 33 — begging the question of how a city known for its fierce winters couldn’t protect its residents.
Part of the issue is that exact fact: Buffalo natives are accustomed to the weather. Far too many took to the roads even after being warned, likely thinking it was just another winter storm.
As Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said Tuesday, “when we heard terms such as bomb cyclone, this is something that we’re used to in Western New York.”
“But,” he added, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
It’s obvious that officials, from Gov. Hochul down, should have been more forceful with their warnings. While businesses were urged to close, a travel ban wasn’t announced until shortly before 9 a.m. Friday, a mere 41 minutes before it took effect and as the storm was beginning to bear down on the region.
And though more equipment was called up, zero visibility meant it was difficult for responders to reach people trapped in their cars, leaving some to die.

Anyone, who expects the Gooferment to save them from their own mistakes, will soon find out that they are often on their own.
The blizzard is a known hazard in Buffalo. So when one is predicted, it would seem obvious that one prepares and takes shelter at home or where ever necessary.
If you have to drive, and that list of reasons should be extremely short — medical emergency is the only thing I can imagine, then you should have a “winter survival” kit in the car’s back seat. Sleeping bag, candles, water, and food are essential.
Seems like some people feel immune to the cold cruel world that we live in.

Are Universities Doomed?
Victor Davis Hanson / @VDHanson / December 26, 2022

Since 2020, the old proportional-representation admissions quotas have expanded into weird “reparatory” admissions. Purported “marginalized populations” have often been admitted at levels greater than percentages in the general population.
Consequently, “problematic” standardized tests are damned as biased and antithetical to “diversity.”
To accommodate radical diversity reengineering, the only demographic deemed expendable are white males. Their plunging numbers on campus, especially from the working class, are now much less than their percentages in the general population—regardless of grades or test scores.
At Yale, the class of 2026 is listed as 50% white and 55% female. Fourteen percent were admitted as “legacies.” In sum, qualified but poor white males without privilege or connections seem mostly excluded.

Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, I don’t see ANY value in the oddball degrees being offered today. History and English have been perverted and are hence useless. At least in the old days, you’d learn how to write effective literate essays.
So to society, is also on a downward spiral into crass crude disguting cultural rot.
I won’t be around to see the crash at the bottom, but it’s going to be nasty brutish for all left behind,
