How Does Sandy Impact the Occupy and TeaParty?

How bad was it to live through Sandy? I heard it was not so bad for those with money and electric power.  For those that lost power, was it all that bad? What caused the troubles you face? A bad storm or bad preparation? Did insurance companies take care of you better than governments?  Did oil companies deliver enough fuel in time? Too bad we don't have insurance that covers economic wars because it impacts our social well being and can even lead to a life or death situation.
