@115105109 Because of the wildfires, electricity gets shut down to prevent even more of them. Neglecting infrastructure and forest maintenance certainly had their share in this.

@Jilano The wildfires aren't even because of lacking money. They are because of misguided environment policies enacted by the Californian government, forbidding controlled burn-downs and forest maintenance. Keeping it "really natural", you know. With "really natural" mega-fires as a consequence.
That's what happens when you vote urban environmentalists into government who wouldn't survive in the wilderness for more than a few days.
9 days.
9 fucking days without internet.
9 fucked up days with access to a national intranet with the only accessible things being websites with privacy-respect policy of facebook, with all your unencrypted data streaming under dictator hands.
