Hello America! About those power outages....

They are coming to a city near you along with the failure of many more systems. We are relying on old, lost technological systems that should have been replaced a looooooong time go. It is a miracle they have worked until now.

People everywhere can bitch until the end of time, but if they don't push to repair the infrastructure this chaos will be repeated in different places on different scales. We can do it when it's relatively calm, or we can wait until disasters make us.

Disasters never occur at a right time. This is a reminder and a warning to the entire country.
