California

Just note we knew the electrical grid wasn't up to snuff in 2001 when we last had rolling blackouts. Since then, the use of electricity has exploded with the amount of time we're on screens and number of screens. AND, critically, California has become perhaps the wealthiest place on earth.

But somehow our politicians/leaders have squandered the last 20 years by not reinvesting in infrastructure, housing, school, and the things that matter. Instead, the notable political accomplishments - as far as I can tell - is charging for plastic and paper bags from grocery stores. Which of course has already proven itself a net-negative public policy when the global pandemic hit.

How do you blame Republicans or Trump for that?
