Democrats are turning California into a third-world hellhole without electricity, water, and freedom.
Due to Democrats' love for trees, at least 800,000 Californians will be without power for several days. Instead of properly managing California forests to reduce the chances of big fires, Democrats are saying Californians have to go without lights, refrigerators, and air-conditioning. Democrats could also avoid this by not making the power company financially liable for all forest fire damages, but since PG&E is a company, not an illegal alien, the Democrats couldn't care less about doing what's best for California.
While they try to blame climate change and the infrastructure, the reality is that neither of those has caused any significant changes in the last ten years — but now, suddenly, due to Democrat policies, Californians have to start living in the 18th century.
The Democrats who run California also refuse to build more water storage capacity even though the state's population has dramatically increased, ensuring that water has to be rationed during droughts.
Democrats are turning California into a third-world country economically. The income inequality between the über-rich Silicon Valley workers and the rest of Californians is huge, just like in third-world countries, while the elites live in luxury and the rest live in squalor.

California has four times more homeless per capita and three times more poor per capita than the rest of America. Half the homeless in America are in California, even though California has only 12% of the U.S. population.

Truckers should stop running in DC.. maybe then they wouldn’t befooting the bill they didn’t create.
Think of all the carbon they’ll be saving.
How long until California falls into economy collapse? I sure as heck would be getting out of there if I’d ever been stupid enough to move there in the first place.
(Note: I’m sure it was a nice place before the rabid commies took over. Funny how rabid commie places end up as rd world shiite holes, isn’t it)
$500K will get you a nice home in Pacoima or Arleta within a Block of the Projects. It is actually more like little tijuana, we got sidewalk restaurants,vendors,clothing,hardware, all kinds of crap stolen from people’s garages. They are lined up and down the Street and Open for Business.
re: “The power companies could simply shut down transformers in critical areas so that only those areas would be affected.”
You’re not REALLY a power company engineer, are you?
Just for comparison, I refueled my 4Runner for $2.08/gal yesterday here in Dallas.
Perhaps the CPUC has environmentalist reasons for denying the cash flow...they couldn’t build more infrastructure for a better supply because of environmentalists.
If it’s Kalifornia, odds are environmentalism is a hefty part of the equation.
Liar. That second pic is not California! Cite your source, and if it’s not a pic of California, your post should be flagged.
It makes the point...from wherever it was.
