    Yeah, but like, don’t. Or at least cover your house with solar. If you need a literal life support system and are dependent on a centralized power grid for that with no backup, you will die.

    Sorry gramma, a lemmitor said you shouldn’t have been born in the armpit of america, so you’re going to have to either die when power shuts down or drop everything and move.

      That’s not my opinion, that’s a sad fact of life. If you can’t move, get a backup electricity supply. Blackouts happen.

          Nah, it’s colonial settlers living in a place where they shouldn’t, and then capitalists plastering everything with heat-absorbing asphalt because it’s more profitable to force people into car-centric hellholes. If you are unfortunate enough to live in a place like that, prepare a backup power source, because it’s not feasible to build a power grid which never has blackouts.

          Of course, it would be nice to have a government that would provide everyone in such regions with backup electricity sources, but that ain’t happening with capitalists in power, and recommending that grandma should lead a communist uprising is not that helpful

        I don’t think a mostly for-comfort utility should be the last to shut down

        I don’t think

        mostly for for-comfort

        should
