Enron?

This delusion is an improvement for Trump. Usually he thinks it’s the 70’s or 80’s. So the 90’s is nice to see. 👍🏻

nice.

Really? I live in San Diego and can't remember the last time we lost electricity. Maybe 15 years ago?

Enron would’ve thrived in this environment. They were before their time.

He's basically trying to Enron the entire state.

Me

I sit in that sweet spot.

I remember Gray Davis getting mercilessly mocked for blaming the brownouts on manipulation by Enron … and then being proven totally right!

Another reason to piss on Dick Cheney’s grave!!!

🙋🏼‍♀️

I was there during the brownouts and the recall. I was young then but I'm old now. And not there anymore.

Literally all of Bluesky and that's it.

<raises hand> Deregulation followed by Enron moving in followed by brownouts and blackouts while "the smartest guys in the room" were raking in the $. Right up until it all came crashing down.

When I see the name Gray Davis, I hear it in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice. How old does that make me, fam?

That’s a pretty narrow slice of populace but this barely millennial with former Bay Area grandparents and teen age children checks it.

✋ 68 and yes we do!

hello it's me, the center of the venn diagram

So crystal clear

Calling out ~40 year olds who were very into politics when young and too online when old ... on Bluesky?

Me. To both. And I’m old enough to remember cooked as slang for weed that is fully consumed, as in, “this bowl is cooked, man.” I am younger than DJT by ~15 years.

You’re posting on BlueSky, the website for politics poisoned 38-year olds. Those with reading comprehension know.

That's a joke from pretty far inside baseball. And damn if I didn't get it.

Oh, the Enron brownouts followed by the astroturf recall followed by the Governator. Good times… And did cooked replace washed? It’s all a blur when you’re 67. Enjoy your place in the age Venn diagram, Philip!

✋

Me. Gray's name was very appropriate

That was an Enron thing, too, right?

I laffed...

I lived in San Diego during that time and man was that annoying

🙋‍♂️

Hello 👋🏼

I can recall Gray Davis

I think that actually hits the blue sky millennial sweet spot

Now do texas

yea 15 years ago we used to before solar was prevelant

No notes.

WOW I need some of them drugs is that what they give you for dementia

i’m willing to guess his definition of ‘brownout’ and ‘blackout’ is different than that of most americans.

Actually the state that is having trouble keeping their electricity on reliably isn't California - it's Texas.

That takes me back.

Gray Davis 😆

Brownouts and blackouts occur every day in Trump's mind.

It’s my understanding that California’s policy is to first use less costly,renewable energy grids online and secondarily use non-renewables when demand spikes. failing infrastructure delivery upkeep by the utility companies is the biggest source of the problem, coupled with an expanding pop.

Do you mean Gov. Moonbeam?

#LivingInThePast

Only a man as old as I would say such a thing...

Gray Davis! Deep cut!

TЯump needs to be concerned about his own "brownouts and blackouts

Of course, it's a lie. I have lived in California, my whole long life. I have never experienced a black- out or brown-out once.

I think he's confusing his Depends with California.
