I was in a restaurant the other day and couldn’t help but overhear the conversation from the table behind us
They were in a celebratory mood. They were happy that Californians had come together in such a rational way to cut back on their energy usage and prevent brownouts during the recent heat wave. they were absolutely giddy about everyone receiving an unsolicited emergency alert on their phone advising them that we had entered a stage three powers situation. to them this could only be seen as a regime success for mankind.
They seem to be ignorant of the fact that California has entered Third World status with respect to its power grid energy management and energy generation. Similarly they did not seem to appreciate that the alert that went out to all Californians was essentially a rationing announcement from the government. It seems they’ve never read the story by George Orwell, 1984
have a joy joy day cousin
