So? his job is to talk for 3 hours 5 days a week. Efficient concise conversation doesn’t work so much when you’re paid by the minute, your audience has varying levels of attention, and listeners come & go during those hours.

And yeah, there’s plenty of warning to prepare or evacuate. Those who are surprised, in any way, by the consequences of this storm arguably deserve to be mocked.

The bottled water craze has always puzzled me. Now there are certain bottled waters I like a lot, such as Poland Springs water. But most bottled water has a nasty taste to it. Especially when it is "purified" or "distilled". I just don't like that water!

I get my water from a well dug in my yard and I generally like that water. But the house I recently bought has all kinds of gizmos in the basement that make that well water taste more like that distilled water you get in the stores. There's even a big container that I have to dump 100 pounds of salt into every other month to make the water "softer and less hard". But I think I would like the hard water better, with all it's minerals and such. I don't like the distilled and purified kind of water.

Politicians saw people spending big bucks for water that used to be almost free from the tap.

They figured - “hey, maybe we can get them to pay for air. I know, call it “climate change” and tax them for it.”

A dozen “milk jugs” could be any form of storing 12 gallons of water. You can buy water by the 6-gallon case, you can rinse & reuse milk jugs over time (my father accumulated about 100 milk jugs, rinsed & filled with emergency water), you can use other containers of comparable size (bathtub holds a lot, as do decorative ponds & swimming pools), etc.
