>Bidens presidency eh?

>City decides to do "controlled blackouts"

are you sure you're in the US and not South Africa?

>>28853505
Hey I voted for the other old man who wasn't quite as bad.

>>28853509
KCMO no bullshit

>>28853247
it was just a blackout, dues to extreme consumption of electricity because of the cold days.
But they don't want people running around in panic

Thank fuck starting to warm up enough now, nothing makes you appreciate being slightly above homeless poor like central heating.

>>28853699
Right that was the "idea" but why the hell did they operate schools at full consumption while nobody goes there?

And cut off residents in the morning hours when pipes are already bursting like mad in the city.

>>28853804
LMAO SHORT BURGERS

They've literally been telling you about a "dark winter" for how long? :DDDD

>>28853247
q unironically predicted this.

>>28854087
I remember..... why I posted this as a reminder wtf.

>>28853301
Europoops don't even have AC lmao

I'm a retard but why can't Texas import power from the bajillion surrounding states?

>>28854273
The problem is our city has one main power company, we used to have competing and it drove costs down.

>>28853247
We don’t even have that shit in Venezuela. Are Americans 4th world now?

>>28854833

>>28854272
we do have running water and electricity though
keep coming amerimutts CONTROLLED BLACKOUTS HAHAHAAHHA WHATS NEXT A CONTROLLED FAMINE? LMAO YOU CANT MAKE THSI SHIT UP

>>28853505
>>28853539
You are just as bad as the limp wristed faggots who blamed Trump for every little inconvience in their lives which the federal government had absolutely nothing to do with.

Blaming state or city issues on POTUS is brainless regardless of who's in office.

>>28855065
Learn sarcasm this was a mayor's choice fuck off back to red dit please.

It's cause the power production facilities froze, at least some of the machinery. That combined with people running electric heaters. Controlled blackouts are a common strategy to avoid a system from getting overstretched.

>>28855113
>Learn sarcasm this was a mayor's choice fuck off back to red dit please.
It wasn't a "mayors choice", it was a practical decision based on there not being enough electrical supply for the demand.

I fucking hate zoomers, you faggots wouldn't survive a war. 4 hours without electricity, oh the humanity.

>>28855232
Mayor Quintan Lucas approves rolling blackout measure 18 hours ago.

KYS

>>28855266
>Mayor Quintan Lucas approves rolling blackout measure 18 hours ago.
Who gives a shit? He had to approve them, if he didn't the whole system would go down. What choice is that? Retarded pussy. Oh and nice nigger city you live in.

Cool blog OP

>>28855342
"Not the Mayor's choice! Faggot"
"Who cares if it was the Mayors choice"

Seriously KYS you toxic faggot.

Yeah cause you would have sat on your hands and let the whole city blackout in a deep freeze you insufferable faggot. This is why you're white but you live in a nigger city, you're useless.

>>28854949
Nigger it’s one tiny city in America. Kansas City is a nigger filled shit hole in general.

>>28855505
>Nigger it’s one tiny city in America. Kansas City is a nigger filled shit hole in general.
The blackouts are all over the south. All the way down to southern texas. This is an extra cold winter and the power companies weren't prepared for it. Now that doesn't justify OP living in a nigger city but still, you can't just say this is Kansas City or some nigger mayors fault. Don't be racist, he's doing a decent job in this tough situation.

>>28853247
nice bait

>>28855386
Its either some people without electricity or everyone.

>>28855621
You two are literal schizos screaming nigger city nigger this and then "don't be racist"

Whatthemotherfuckisgoingonhere

>living in a shithole

>>28855698
>You two are literal schizos screaming nigger city nigger this and then "don't be racist"
It was just an ironic joke, I reject racism, niggers are good people as long as they aren't anywhere near me or my family.

>>28853247
Now wait for the switch to "green energy" where they ban coal and nuclear power and oil etc. It will be a total catastrophe.

>>28855784
Fuck off your the definition of a walking contradiction.

>>28853324
Try not living in some unprepared retard southern state that ignores climate change or you'll be dealing with it for a long time. Sounds like texas, you fuckos have a hammer and treat everything like a nail. Power issue? Uhhh shut off power? American scum, the scum of scum. Like the build up under toilets. That's southern scum

Stockbros, help me out. What tickers are going to go up now that formerly subtropical cities can expect yearly blizzards?

>>28855808
This is the plan these "rolling blackouts" are preparation for more control over people just like the masks if you are too blind to see that I can't help you.

>>28855840
> Comes to 4chan for consistency and honest opinions

>>28855621
Because the majority of the power grid in the midwest and Texas is solar and wind. As always it's the government's fault for subsidising these industries since time immemorial

>>28855866
Clearly your not from here California was doing this all year, and I wouldn't consider MO southern.

>>28853301
This is the new normal. Just accept it goy. And eat the bugs. Soon you will only get 3 hours of electricity per day. It’s for the earth. Just shut up and accept the new normal.

>>28855866
>Power issue? Uhhh shut off power?

What would you have done in this situation? Just let half the population get frostbite?

>>28856005
They let every single school run full operation with nobody inside, stop making excuses.

This is about control period.

>>28855933
>Because the majority of the power grid in the midwest and Texas is solar and wind. As always it's the government's fault for subsidising these industries since time immemorial
True

Notice everyone in this thread against the rolling blackouts won't state what they would do when the grid is about to fail.

>>28853509
>controlled blackouts
>in the US and not South Africa?
Wouldn’t it be called controlled blacking?

>>28855866
>t. Actual child that doesn’t understand how power stations worked

>>28856047
>They let every single school run full operation with nobody inside

Congratulations, you've figured out why solar is great. You can piss away energy on all the dumb bullshit you want as long as the sun is shining. The timed blackouts were for after dark, when the crippled gas plants had to operate solo.

>>28855866
Nice bait faggot

>>28853301
Yes, especially rural areas in blue states like California. Power companies like PG&E keep fucking up but keep getting bailouts

That's the price you guys pay for having cheapest electric rates in the US. You can be like other grid where we keep gas plants humming even if no energy is demanded.

>>28856134
I wouldn't have swapped hydocarbons for useless solar and wind in the first place. But you already know all this, right anon? It's not about energy, its about control.

>>28855866
>t. assblasted city chihuahua barking at normal americans from his shitty apartment building that he shares with actual niggers

>>28853247
Read and weep

Reminder.
1. Never has happened ever before here.
2. We have had more than enough time to prepare every single city for these energy demands quit acting like this is somehow the people's fault.

Dunb fuck polcels, the power plants sold their energy to europe and asia and now they dont have enough

>>28853247
How could this possibly be a thing, market wise? Average cost of electricity in the US is 13 cents per kWh. Europe is 26 cents on average for contrast. If there's too much demand for the supply, why would the price be so low? Poor people being priced out of electricity should prevent blackouts. Is it fixed prices through regulation? Or are you just full of shit?

>>28856465
WHOMST

>>28855505
>its one tiny city in america

Not really sure what exactly your implying but I like where your heads at.

Here cometh the vax man little euro tick tock.

>>28856134
Switch it all to coal, like we do here in Alberta. It was -40 last week I think that’s roughly the same in freedom units. No “rolling blackouts” here... Imagine having states with a population more than Canada dependent on wind and solar panels

>>28855866
Racist

>>28853247
Amerimutts really? My Team in texas can't log on. They're all fresh off the boat pajeets too never experienced this cold you're literally killing my team lmfao.

>>28856741
Exactly if this was something normal I wouldn't have made a post about it, I've got cancer and woke up with a 40 degree house surrounded by my cats, This shit probably killed people last night.

>>28853247
I bet your mayors house has power

>>28856965
Hey jackass I knew it was coming, I shut all exterior windows and closed any gaps before it happened and it still rapidly cooled my entire home down to the point I didn't want to move, imagine someone elderly who didn't prepare.

>yuropoors talking shit

>>28856965
In my city over 500 people died from heat exhaustion in the 30's because it was so hot people would put fans on their face but it was causing them to bake like an oven and they pulled bodies out of the woods for months.

Cucked? How does this vocabulary come into something like freezing or heating to death?

>>28853247
>Bidens presidency eh?
Look on the bright side, at least you're reducing how much you contribute to global warming!

>Live in a state where it gets to -10 F for a few weeks
>Have pic in case I lose power, gas or heater breaks
>Only had to use it camping
Your failure to be prepared is not something I will give sympathy for. It is why people have generators and other setups. You think this is bad? We are going into a mini-age age, this shit will get worse with each winter for the next few years.

>>28857426
I'm ready for the mini-age age.

Leaf here, you guys should unironically build an igloo to survive. Unless you want to start a fire in your house and can figure out a means of venting out the smoke. But I built one in outdoor ed class when I was 12 so I think you could google it.

>>28857372
Do you guys not have wood burning stoves or a furnace in your house? Sure it’s awful but it seems kind of poetic given you guys made fun of us for living in igloos, when that could be your only salvation right now

>>28854833
Lies, I remember the last blackout 2 years ago.

>>28858169
Bro I don't even have a fridge, but maybe next year.

The south is supposed to be burning up and New York is supposed to be half underwater by now. There is no " climate change " it's not getting warmer. They lied to you deal with it.

Like most things it has dual agendas but I did consider the fact they are targeting residents that it's effecting mining ops.

Also great way to get people used to controlling your power even though your not behind.

Doesn't Texas specifically have it's own separate power grid from the rest of USA.
