PG&E power shut-offs are coming back.

Map Published in LA Times

SFGate–For the millions of Californians sticking close to home during the coronavirus pandemic, unwelcome news from PG&E has landed: The dreaded Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) may be coming back.

The beleaguered company claims that, unlike last year’s days-long shutoffs, this year any power outages due to dangerous wildfire conditions will be shorter and smaller.

“The cadence and frequency of notifications will depend on the forecasted gusty winds and dry conditions, combined with a heightened fire risk, and how quickly those threats change, among other factors,” says PG&E.

Without Mentioning Earthquakes, Give 5 Reasons Why It Sucks To Live In California

WAT!! There’s even more….??  And you didn’t even mention Wildfires, or Traffic Problems, or High Taxes, or Homeless Camps with Drugs and Poop and Needles on the sidewalks, or the High Cost of Housing, or being a Sanctuary State for Illegal Immigrants, or Hollywood Elites, or Silicon Valley Billionaires, or…..  Steve Harvey says he’s getting the fuck out, so should you.

Get Your California Bananas While They’re Ripe

From the San Francisco Chronicle, “For one week, high-capacity ammunition magazines were legal in California. Hundreds of thousands may have been sold.”

California Bananas – Ripeness Guaranteed for only ONE Week

A ban on the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds has been a linchpin of California’s efforts to prevent mass shootings for nearly two decades.

But in the span of a single week after a federal judge temporarily set aside the prohibition, hundreds of thousands of the devices, if not millions, made their way into the hands of state residents, industry leaders say.

California ‘Street’ Bidet

As reported by The Atlantic, “Medieval Diseases Are Infecting California’s Homeless“.  Typhus, tuberculosis, and other illnesses are spreading quickly through camps and shelters. Ever creative, California Public Health Officials are experimenting with a unique new approach to solving the homeless person sanitation problem – The California ‘Street’ Bidet.

Jennifer Millar keeps trash bags and hand sanitizer near her tent, and she regularly pours water mixed with hydrogen peroxide on the sidewalk nearby. Keeping herself and the patch of concrete she calls home clean is a top priority.

But this homeless encampment off a Hollywood freeway ramp is often littered with needles and trash and soaked in urine. Rats occasionally scamper through, and Millar fears the consequences.

Crazy In California – Hi-Capacity Assault Straw Dispensers Banned

First they said “You can’t go to Oklahoma (and 8 other states)“, then they came for your plastic bags and your tasty foie gras, they banished your pet gerbil , neutered your firearms,  and now, insult to injury, they’re gonna put you in jail for using an ‘effing straw!!!  Get out while you can!  Err… on second thought, don’t.  No sense giving you the chance to screw up someone else’s state.

StreetArt – California ‘Potholed’

The “California Pothole Rebellion” will go down in the annals of history along with the Boston Tea Party and the Whisky Rebellion as turning points in US History. As reported by the Gateway Pundit, “Street Artists Blast LA Politicians for Putting Welfare of Illegals Over Americans“.  Vive la Résistance!
.

The anonymous artists claim “The roads in LA are worse that Tijuana, driving here sucks and it’s their fault. The city is shirking its responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for lawful citizens to placate illegals and steal elections.

‘Will The Last Person Leaving California – Turn Out The Lights

According to the Seattle Times, that “Iconic “will the last person” Seattle billboard bubbles up again“.

It’s been 38 years since Bob McDonald and Jim Youngren put up the iconic billboard reading “Will the last person leaving Seattle — Turn out the lights,” and its slogan has been used worldwide any time there is an economic downturn.

Seattle does have its problems again, but California?  That a whole ‘nuther level of problems.  Cross the equally iconic “Caution – Illegal Crossing” with “Caution – Residents Fleeing” like Michael Ramirez has, and you begin to understand why U-Haul will practically pay you to take a trailer into California. From The Mercury News,

Moving from San Jose to Las Vegas, Nevada? You’ll shell out $945 to rent a 10-foot U-Haul truck, and $1,990 to rent a 26-foot truck, for up to four days, according to the U-Haul website. But make the move in the other direction, and you’ll pay $119 for a 10-foot truck and $132 for a 26-foot truck.

Moving from Phoenix, Arizona to San Jose is the same — $119 for the smallest truck, and $132 for the largest. But a trip from San Jose to Phoenix costs $618 and $1,301.
