Wonder how the Globalists will spin this one.

All those “educated” and “hard working” Indians just had their entire nation’s power grid collapse. And, Globalists, Free Traders, and Socialists want to hire these people to take high tech jobs from Americans?

I guess India will have to do what companies already do when Indians fail at tech: They have to bring in Americans to correct the mistakes

This is unbelievable. Can’t imagine the whole United States going without electricity for any length of time. Is this a sigm of things to come?

This is old news, power came back up yesterday, situation off the headlines in India, smaller scale outages are very common.

How could a power outage possibly happen?

A preview of what it’s going to be like in America if Barry gets re-elected in November. He’s going to close down all of the power plants in order to “save da planet”.

370 million? That’s a lot of people, isn’t it?

Is Dell technical support affected?

nonsense, of course. If it’s anything like here in the Philippines, it will only mean the poor will get out their cellphones to listen to the radio and light candles for light, while the rich and middle class will turn on their generators for the airconditioner.

I mean, yes, it needs to be fixed, but nearly everyone is used to brownouts in the third world.

Estimated 40% of India doesn't have electricity, FOX.
They should power up one of those nukes.

The power failed again after restoral. ZH via Times of India is saying 670 million without power. That's around half the population or by comparison it would be like The US, Canada and Mexico combined. Check out the pictures showing India before outage then after outage. Starting to look like NK. Anyone noticed some web sites acting up or outright down. The the US off-shored a lot of IT work to India such as record processing, Call center help lines etc.

In 1980 I met a Bombay native, who my company was sponsoring for a work permit here. (Super guy, btw, a Zoroastrian, Chartered Accountant, had been working in Tehran when the Shah lost power to the Khomenie revolution).

Anyway I asked him about upper-middle-class life for his family in Bombay. He said running water was only available for a few hours per day, so you filled the home water tanks when it was.

Then water was available for use, from gravity-tanks mounted up high.

Etc.
