Yesterday the electricity in San Diego (and all of Southern California) unexpectedly shutoff for about 8 hours. One of my politically-liberal friends on Facebook complained about how they had to preemptively cancel their college class because of "concern for the health of the students." I wrote this is multiple replies:
The GOP policy of "deregulation" and greedy rich white men are responsible for this. or Bush.
I was unfairly forced to read
a book for 6 whole hours yesterday while the power was out. My right to
online education was denied, even though I paid for it. My right to air
conditioning was revoked while the Patriot Act was in effect. I was
dehydrated without access to health care. I tried to protest in
accordance with my 1st amendment rights, but my college refused to print
my signs. Police with guns and tasers stared at me and forced me to
light candles and wave lighters to promote peace, justice and
prosperity.
My right to study
Maslow's hierarchy of needs was denied by corporate interests. Courts
have already ruled that I cannot sue SDG&E for violating my personal
comfort, causing distress, and forcing a fatal shutdown of thousands of
dollars worth of computer equipment. The leftover pizza in my
refrigerator spoiled, and I couldn't order replacement pizza online. I'm
starving and thirsty. My workout video cut out unexpectedly and I
injured myself mid-yoga, but again I cannot sue
corporate-ruled-media-energy
companies for my life threatening injuries. I fell asleep while reading
books causing me to wake up late for important stuff. My vacuum exhaled
all of the dust it had picked up today, causing me to breathe toxic
fumes.
I was forced to pray to a god
I don't believe in because I was so desperately uncomfortable yesterday
during the state-run energy blackout, which is a violation of the
separation between church and state. I played "Chutes and Ladders" to
try to control the panic, but because I fell off a ladder in 3rd grade, I
now have PTSD. Again, the government won't pay for my health care, even
though they caused my health, without care. I tried to build a fire to
produce light in my house and succeeded, but I inhaled too much smoke
and the fire department didn't respond because I'm a liberal Democrat. I
had to put out the fire on my own, even after I was too warm. My
internet shut off without warning, even though the FCC forbids this by
law.
My trash wasn't picked up by
people I don't know yesterday. Obama was on vacation while the power was
out but I'm still unemployed, my washing machine doesn't work, and my
cell phone is uncharged. Why doesn't the government care about my job,
online education, sanitary clothing conditions, and freedom of speech?
Yesterday I could barely drink enough clean water in plastic cups to
replace the sweat I used taking a nap on my couch! I'm even in the
military damnit! My bong wouldn't light without vodka for
fuel/filtration, so the corporation SDG&E prevented by my treatment
for the PTSD that they caused. My rechargeable batteries went dead. My
microwave popcorn ran out. My frozen vegetables thawed. DID NO ONE SEE
THIS COMING? WHY ARE THERE NO LAWS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING?
No reply has yet been given. I don't expect one, except maybe an unfriending.
