I'm not mad at all. I simply think your phrasing implies blame in a no-win situation where blame isn't warranted. Especially considering the right is going off the deep end politicizing and casting aspersions and blame.
Explaining the "why" is also part of journalism.

I'm an emergency services worker. We aren't taught to encourage pointless impotent rage at the injustice of the universe. We are taught to compartmentalize your emotions so they don't cloud your judgment. People don't call us to stand there and cry with them, they call us to put out the damn fire.

Bah. Not a tweet. Still have to break that stupid habit.

Someone having an opinion you don't like or a point that you can't be bothered to understand doesn't make them a troll.
I'm tired of ragebait masquerading as journalism. There were many other ways this could've been phrased that wouldn't have made it come off like ragebait.

If the intent were simply to communicate an already-expected outcome, why is the tweet to which I responded phrased the way that it is? Feels like it's looking to stir up angry reactions from people who lack the critical thinking skills to realize that garden hoses aren't a priority over hydrants.

Ah yes, the age-old journalism standby of writing about something everyone expects to happen. "Man turns on light switch during power outage to find only darkness" is a very common thing to report on, no?

I guess people just expect magical infinite water pressure when every working hydrant in the area is probably running full blast? Good lord.

"stand around and let a bunch of terrorists take over the Capitol and try to assassinate the VP and overthrow the government" was an illegal order too and they happily obeyed.

They didn't do anything that hasn't been done for years. W. E. B. Du Bois wrote a whole article in The Nation in 1956 about how he wasn't voting because it made no difference because it was just two faces of the same party. This assertion was nothing new in 1992.

Maybe they should've eaten less avocado toast and then they could've afforded to do this work using the enormous profits that they already make.

Frankly, it wouldn't matter. I think it's pretty evident at this point that the masses are impervious to facts, or objective reality, or anything remotely resembling critical thinking and independent thought.

lol no they won't. They didn't bear the blame for the severity of the pandemic, or the people that died because of their incompetence, or the economy they wrecked with their shortsightedness, and they won't for this either.
