Electric power failures, rats, human excrement on the sidewalks, dangerous needles and syringes littering the parks, illegal immigration, druggies everywhere, telephone poles collapsing because of human urine rotting the bases, sexual perversion, heroin, cocaine, moral rot and decay the destroyer of civilizations!

That's California in the 21st century!

That's what "liberalism" ("progressivism," whatever the newspeak nom de la semaine) has to offer!

If California were not propped up by the sane world outside it, California would already have collapsed into a Dark Age, where disease is rampant, civilization is lost, and the law of the jungle prevails.

And the ultimate chutzpah is those responsible for all this evil accusing those who oppose it of being un-Christian!

Not a LeBron fan, but I think he evacuated because of the wildfire, not electricity shut down.

Let’s not beat around any bushes. The state is starting to condition the rubes to EXPECT spotty energy. By deliberately restricting the production and conveyance of the current energy grid, they can remove their fossil fuel produced electric plants and replace them with the unreliable wind and solar sources. At this point, Californians will be so conditioned to the spotty outages that there will be no difference between those outages and the expected outages that wind and solar will produce.

Conditioning. And indoctrination. This is why California resembles Venezuela more than America. Pure and simple. Some government officials may be stupid, perhaps most of them, but they are in lockstep with the Communist Manifesto.

Full of people who don’t speak English and intermittent power. Sounds like Zimbabwe. Y’all enjoy!

The worst thing that happened to California was the death of the defense industry there. All those engineers and clear thinkers became unemployed and moved out leaving a large majority of academics, techies and other liberals and hanger ons. The good people outside the cities were stuck, you can’t roll up your farmlands or ranches so they are slowly being swallowed alive.

My heart hurts for them.

A generator would have done him no good. His house was in an evacuation zone because of fires.

...The absolutely insane bans on Natural Gas is worth noting. The better home generators can be powered by your homes Natural Gas unless of course it’s banned. NG is one of the cleanest burning fuels in the world...

IMHO propane is superior, because I can store my supply on-site.

When you hook your generator up to the natural gas supply you are dependent on someone else to keep the gas flowing in that pipe.

Sure enough, if the natural gas supply keeps up it will last longer, but I already own the propane I have on site.

Filling gas cans for generators is it’s own disaster. Hard to get gas out of California nozzles to fill a can without spilling all over the place.

Bet many Californians store gas now in unsafe areas.

This state is INCAPABLE with finding solutions to what they’ve caused.

The voters here will get what they deserve.

I live in a rural area and immune from power, water and food worries.
Of course I’m a conservative that can actually think and have prepared myself for this long ago
