Welcome to the Fourth World!

Well today's not on our crumbling country is the total power outage in Madison, NJ. This is a town owned and operated system. They had announced a local outage mid-day, but at 4 PM there was total outage! On the main street just prior to max traffic. This local entity is classic town managed and operated. Costly, inefficient, and in my opinion nearly incompetent. I have had experience with many such local power companies. They are remnants of early 20th century Socialism, namely literally power to the people. This closed all stores, medical practices etc. Clearly a potential cause for irreparable harm. Madison in my opinion and my experience has an aloof Government which seems to care less for citizens outside heir town.
