2. this is 100% preventable in this day in age. your only fooling our grandparents

3. I'm so glad I don't live in that multicultural, liberal, 3rd-world state.

4. If You live in an apartment make your landlord buy a generator

5. Come on people you knew this was gonna happen months ago rolling blackouts buy a generator

6. There is something more to this. Mark my words.

7. Problem with monopolies in bed with government. Perfect example and the people suffer. California is a shithole.

8. How does a monopoly go bankrupt. How? And what are they doing (what can they do) to fix this fiasco, while the power is off?

9. I know Republicans are smart,but do we have any Democrats in the house that can figure this one out?

   3 guys order a pizza🍕
   The delivery driver arrives & says "that will be 30.00 fellas"

   They split the bill & each pays 10.00 for the pizza…

   The delivery driver returns to the store when the manager tells him "we overcharged that last order"…

   The pizza was on sale for 25.00 so he takes 5.00 out of the register & has the driver return it to the customers…

   But on the way the driver thinks to himself, these guys didn't even tip me & now I'm burning my gas to refund 5.00?😠

   So the driver decided he's gonna take 2.00 for himself as a tip…

   He arrives @ the house again & explains they were overcharged…

   "Here's a dollar back for each of u, so instead of paying 10 each they each paid 9

   3×9 = 27 the driver takes 2 so where's the other dollar?🤔

10. Haha fuck California. And how in the fuck does a power company go bankrupt ?

11. Bruh them plastic ass lookin barricades aint gonna do shit.

12. I guess socialism finally made it to California…. ( perfect example of it )

13. Jesus otw ?

14. Somehow…….this is Trumps fault…..somehow…..

15. they cut the power to prevent LAWSUITS. not sure you donkeys caught that part, blame the fucking lawyers.

16. Apparently the lights have been out in the minds of Californians for awhile now anyhow. Talk about a state that is LONG overdue to turn from blue to red, when will the lights go ON inside their heads?🇺🇸

17. Fam, electricity is a luxury not a right, would you rather have a house or no powers for a couple days, the backlash that companies are getting is “bullllshiiiittt” because even when the fires do come they blame it on companies like Edison but when they try to solve it they get blamed to so how about you think of a solution if you think this ones so bad asshole

18. The penalties for everything are monies. Why no prison sentences? The big corporation do something wrong get caught, then pay a fine of 1/100 of what they stole or damaged.

19. I have an invention that would indirectly solve this kind of problem with power distribution forever…. It is a super special kind of generator where each house and business would produce their own electricity.. And it doesn't use wind turbines or fossil fuels.

    Like this if you think that I should actually build my invention.

20. Does it mean California teens can't tweet about being progressive?

21. Don't you need electricity to pump/move most of our water? Do the fire hydrants still work? What about cell towers? If any fire breaks out anywhere, then what, ashes?

22. Why are they waiting in line to get petrol gas? They wouldn't have to if they all had electric cars….OH SNAP…..

23. Meh
    Just flush the entire state and it’s residents down the toilet

24. WELCOME TO LIBERAL CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!! NO POWER FOR YOU AND YOU AND AND YOU!!!! SOCIALIST ISN'T IT GREAT!!!!

30. It would suck to live there I'd think

31. Blame capitalism. Profit above all else is pure greed.
    #CapitalismIsGreed

32. Greta Thunberg is wandering around in the dark there. Can someone drive around and rescue her?

33. Who wants to live in California? It is like third world country. Thank you all Democrats! You need to use more solar panels.

34. Watch you still get a bill on the days they turn it off

35. What about the hospitals & surgeries?

36. This is crazy. Any thing in coolers or freezers are going sour. You cant cook or go out to a restaurant. How are people eating?

37. So is the camera not on that announcer cause he’s drooling on himself 😂😂😂

38. This is programming…
    What will citizen's do???

39. California is a laughing stock.

40. Wild fires are not caused by electricity ,but by Nuclear fall out. These particles create friction in the bushes and trees and burn from inside out.

41. El horse shizzit

42. Oh no the outageths are getting imenthive.

43. how tf does this prevent wildfires i thought wildfires start from too much heat and dry air?

44. WHY IS THIS STILL TRENDING?!?!

45. Fake News. Not all of California is having a power outage. Most Californians use Solar Power, and solar backup generators. State of emergency… Yeah Right!

46. Hahaha like they chose for the power to be out! Hahahahahaha what a joke! California is gonna get even worse with no electricity

47. Sorry but this sounds like bullshit. What kind of excuse is “turning off power to prevent wildfires”. Does no builder follow codes in Cali?

48. Serves them right. The power company gets sued ether way they go. Leave the power off till the winds die down. Then put all the power lines under ground and charge the customers for it.
