In 1989, the Romanians finally figured out that the electricity and food shortages were never really going to be fixed because the shortages were deliberate.
They shot Nicolai Ceausescu and his wife to death on Christmas day,
When will "the people" realize all of this is being done on purpose and they are literally trying to kill as many of us as possible.
And just FYI everyone...don't underestimate what it's like to live through the summer without electricity. Without even a fan, let alone without A/C. It's brutal and it will fuck with your mind after just a couple days. There's really nowhere to go to cool off...I could see "the masses" really reaching a breaking point in half a week in those conditions. Keep in mind gas prices and food prices and it's not hard to fathom.

Welcome to "green" energy - where all the coal and oil burning plants are shut down and replaced by wind and solar.
Oh, but when solar and wind can't meet the demand, the power companies have to turn to NATURAL GAS to meet the fast demand loads, and natural gas prices fluctuate wildly.
Didn't texas have the 1000% markup in winter as well?? Because power and heat both came from natural gas?

Yeah the spot rate for electricity during the snow storm got well over 1k usd /kWh. That was a bit more complex and partially grid failure but yea the overall issue was from moving to replace actual power generation to having a broken system of things to at barely work in table top simulations let alone real life.
