Tempers flare as millions in California endure power outages from PG&E
LA Times ^ | October 10. 2019 | Taryn Luna, Maria L. La Ganga, Patrick McGreevy, Joseph Serna

Classes were canceled. Frozen foods melted. Hospitals switched to emergency generators. Blooms withered in florists’ coolers. Unused food was jettisoned at shuttered restaurants. Lines formed at gas stations. Cellphones faded out. That’s what happened Wednesday when the state’s largest utility shut off power to millions of Californians in a drastic attempt to avoid the killer wildfires that have charred hundreds of thousands of acres, caused billions of dollars in damage and spurred cries for widespread change in how electricity is delivered over the state’s aging grid.

A state that has turned "stupid" into a noun.

A series of questions:

How many people is this going to kill?
Can you see a Stupid trying to hook up a generator?
Eating the 4 day old egg salad from the dead fridge?
Once a Stupid can't recharge his cell phone, and everyone has long since disposed of their land lines, how does he call the cops, when MS-13 start pillaging? (Oops! No guns, and proud!)
How does a Stupid deal with accidents at intersections because the traffic lights are dead?
Is Berkley rethinking it's ban on natural gas?
Will Stupids rethink who they vote for, when they open the deep freezer and get a whiff?
What does a Stupid think when he hears his Deplorable neighbor's gen set?

It's surprising how quiet it gets when the power is off. You can hear the thud of a gunshot, screaming, coyotes, from a LONG way off...

Yeah, it's dancing on a grave, but Stupids have worked long and hard to build the dance floor...

Methinks should be a social norm that all dwellings have at least an occupant sustainable (minimum necessary) baseline for power, water, etc. Solar, rain collection, large pantry space, ... This may persuade the start of it. Maybe.

I can’t imagine what all the metrosexual, chestless millennials are doing without their working phones.

“It’s like agenda 21 in action.”

It is agenda 21 in action.

Ask your search engine to get Dr. Joseph P. Farrell on the mysterious wildfires in California.

Other places to search mention evidence of airborne laser or microwave weapons starting these fires.

Also look up China and others buying damaged California agricultural land cheaper than they could before it burned.

Century 21 is definitely a possible player.

You know, FReepers, the California fires are far more complicated and frightening than a few wordbites, or bighting words can convey.

We might be seeing the beginning of so-called Fourth Generation Warfare technology in play.

Remember we have proof that airborne technology can control the weather. And there is more action at this level than will ever be mentioned by the mainstream media.

Unless FR relocated, pretty sure the servers are in CA.

Also cell phone service is not affected

Yes, but charging one's phone is necessary. No power, no charge, no phone.

“Let’s try and remember we have FRiends that live in Cali.”

One reason I hope Red China doesn't drop an atomic bomb on California is because some innocent people would likely be hurt.

But those people need to exit California right now. If the Red Chinese do not destroy California, liberals will.
