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
