The failure of multiculturalism is why I won't have power till Sunday in L.A

[General of Darkness]

Tonight I was taking Shelby for a walk and when I got to the corner, there was a huge Southern California Edison truck with 3 Leroys' in it with a spot light driving up the street. They looked at the down power line with NO POWER and drove on.

Since Wednesday afternoon we've not had power here in Pasadena, and they're saying we won't have power till Sunday. Personally I don't give a shit, I've got a generator humming along, and I bet that the gas to run it, is possibly cheaper than getting electricity, but I digress.

What I did see in my walk is that the ONLY people actually working on getting the power on were white people.

So again, multiculturalism = death.

4 days without power is a long time if you have no gererator.
People/your neighbors must be bumming.
A gererator is the most worthless tool in the garage until you need it.

There are reasons why some guys drive around. They are not trusted enough to do the real work. That occurs with all colors.

General, you can't blame the black folks for the power that's out.

This isn't a multicultural issue, it's a power issue. God bless and be safe.

I didn't say the blacks caused the outage, they just aren't going to get the power turned on.

LOL GoD, I drove by 7 county workers yesterday, I went to town to check the mail, they were just standing around, when I drove back by 20 min later they were still standing around, since most of them live in town and I know them I stopped and asked " What are you guys doing " ? What are you waiting for? So the reply was, We are just waiting til somebody tells us to go to work ! (lol our tax dollars hard at work.) Needless to say I told them get to work them! lol

GoD gets the light on Sunday, that seems about right.

Well, I guess that depends on your location and temperature (or temperature tolerance). I spent 14 days without power in 2004(?), and all I did was sit in the hammock and read, while everyone else freaked out. My dad bought me a generator after that hurricane, so for the next power outage, I watched football with my roommate. Me? I'd rather be reading a book in the hammock.

[Horn]

I've never understood this issue with "multi-culturism" in the U.S. as there never has been a singular one to begin with.

Or the singular one that's been tried has failed, not sure on that though?

As the U.S. "pop-model" culture has spread, and is still spreading across the globe

Racial integration, has failed, yes.

But isn't that a good thing?

[midnight rambler]

Then why are they employed if they don't know what they're doing?

It's called affirmative action and EOE.

[Down1]

I think the thing is USAs very high immigration rate is really taxing the power grid.
I wouldn't get to worked up about it, if it is indeed the case.
The 3 man truck might just be looking for heavy issues to deal with, while the 1 man truck is dealing with the tripped lines.
There is a lot to be said for having the power to control power.
Double if you are going to be an abused minority soon.

Hopefully, but if the power doesn't come on by then who do we blame? It doesn't seem fair to blame the blacks for the whole power outage. We need to share the blame around. I say, on Sunday we blame the Chinese if GoD misses chat.

It's pretty localized to the foothills. The houses and neighborhoods are relatively nice.

What's funny is that my neighbors have been coming over for help with this and that, and they always say, "Mark it's your neighbor", real loud because they know I'm a 2A advocate. :)

Solid, I really doubt it in this situation. Where I live I'm in the older part of the city. Our infrastructure is probably the oldest in L.A., but we're charged the highest baseline rates. I can only assume they just think it's fine to milk whitey and give him very little in return.

Your power bill vs. the generated electricity this month should be interesting.

You heat water with that or is gas there?

Gas. The only thing that really sucks is my furnace is 2 years old, so it doesn't have a pilot light and it's been getting down to 35 at night.

With all due respect General, WTF is wrong with you ? You still reside in SMELL A . Aren't you the one that was talking about escape routes up and over the Angleles National Forest into the waterless Mojave desert ?


The time to leave the LA basin was 6 years ago. You know, at the top of the real estate bubble. I left in January 06 and now i live with white people where it rains and gangbangerz are only seen on TV.

Hey man I know. The ONLY family I have in the U.S. is my mother, and she has no one other than me, and she doesn't want to leave, she's lived in her house for close to 35 years. However, today she did say she wanted to move back to Croatia.

Hey General, I have a lot of respect for you for looking out for your mother. Sure, there's better places to be sometimes, but we all can make do where we are at as well, when there's folks that we need to look after. My folks, and other family, are all within a 15 minute drive from where I'm at, so I understand.

Hope the power comes back on for you soon.

So that means electric heat? They do make gas furnaces too... or are you using the genny for heating?

[General of Darkness]

It's a gas furnace that needs electricity to light. I basically have no heat other than the fire place, but that tends to cool down the bed room.

[MNeagle]

& your genny can't light it? (mechanical noob here)

[JDRock]

multiculturalism was NOT failed. it achieved the intended result with precision.

[Cebu_4_2]

I have a 5500 watt unit and use it to power everything including the well with little problems. The only bummer is I have electric hot water heater and that thing sucks about 5 gallons of gas to get it back up to temp. Then it's good for 3 days so I dont power it up til it's cold.

[Dogman]

It's a gas furnace that needs electricity to light. I basically have no heat other than the fire place, but that tends to cool down the bed room. How big is your gen set, and does it have 220v also? if so you could rig a plug that can plug into a dryer outlet, and you could power half of your breaker box. You may be able to power your furnace lighter and blower motor and such.

I have a 6700kw or so. does all the frigs, some lights and furnace. Plus other things.

But it would take 220v output.

You could also, power your furnace with a double male plug cable, to the furnace if your gen set only does 115v , and the furnace uses 115v and plugs into a outlet near the furnace. but you would have to throw/turnoff the main breaker in your box in both cases 220v or 115v.

My mom followed me. I tried to chase her off. She is here and blending into the environment quite well. F L.A. If you stay there you take your chances, and you know what that entails. We have been telling you for years. Have a nice day. Your only escape route is over mountain passes that will be blocked or locked and then you get to enjoy 500-600 miles of desert and the Rockies. Get a boat or just kill yourself. Otherwise shit will be getting ugly on your side of the cul-de-sac. Nice truck, let's see you when it gets commandeered. You are completely hosed and we have told you too many times.

The peace of mind is nice, but when things go wrong it can be a hassle. You get good at troubleshooting problems. Last week I was without running water for 4 days because my water pump went out on me. Not only did it go out, but the built in pressure switch failed. The pump kept running until water lines started bursting all over the place. 8 hours of work, and $170 lighter, I got the problem fixed. People take for granted having pressure water on the grid. It's not like that for a lot of us.
