@computertweak @ryansatin This guy who acts so offended would probably cheer a wrestler dressed like an old style Soviet gulag commander marching into the ring carrying a burning US flag.
@GillianEdits Well, the queen does allow "refugees" and third world dreck to walk all over native British, so it's not like she doesn't deserve at least some token disrespect, even if if it's the media making hay over nothing.
@varant@LADWP The LADWP has put literally zero into any infrastructure improvement the past 20 years. But they sure have put a lot into training that turned out not to have taken place and OT for workers who spent the day in bars and strip clubs. And even worse.
@stellamaris325@LADWP Yes, like all public swctor workers these days. And the money that should have been spent on maintenance, just maintenance, has been squirreled away for their bloated 6 figure pensions. Infrastructure improvement? A pipe dream.
@LADWP Enjoying the pics of homeless guys recruited to pose as heroic LADWP crew members toiling in the sun. A bottle of Night Train, a helmet and jacket and there you go, instant crew.
@LADWP LADWP punked us in 90046. Power came back...for 10 minutes. We are now closing in 45 hrs no power. Had to take elderly neighbor to her elderly friend’s home in Burbank, where their utilities aren’t yet run by gangsters with a thieving 3rd world mentality.
@eileenies@LADWP After 40 hrs LADWP flipped the breaker and allowed full power to flow through this part of the hills. How soon before we see the mayor and concerned officials meeting to ensure this won’t happen again-then letting us know rate increases are the only answer.
@LaurenLyster@nottherealc_mac@LADWP@KTLA It’s been out since 6 pm Friday in 90046 - just enough of a trickle here and there to power one of the LEDs that were coincidentally handed out door to door by the LADWP a couple of weeks ago. The continued outage is affecting lots of places.
@justcamvu@LADWP They’ve almost convinced me there’s only one crew and they’re being shuttled around town for photo ops. Haven’t seen any crews in 90046 where we’re over 39 hours w/o power - and we’ve been roaming the area to stay out of the roasting house.
@Maura86110734@LADWP Wealthy parts of town? The outage is all over, restoration of power certainly doesn’t seem to be favoring ‘wealthy’ parts of town, of which few are actually left as LA’s slide into the 3rd world continues. Everyone is getting screwed.
@eileenies@LADWP I can second that. They have not responded to anything from 90046. Going on 39 hrs and the recorded estimate for power restoration just keeps getting pushed back, now stating 11:59 pm 7/8. That really means tomorrow afternoon the way things are going.
@Mike92882@MayorOfLA@LAFDtalk@LACity@LACityParks@ReadyLA@LAPDHQ@LAFD Hizzoner the mayor would probably scarf down one of those floaters without hesitation. But he wouldn’t dare take the LADWP to task for the power outage that has thousands of us without power for 34 hours and counting.
@TheRealGHoover @LADWP Lol “heat storm”. They came up with that in some meeting a few months ago while looking for buzzwords to cover excuses for screw ups. Typical summer weather gave them cover to flip the switches so they can demand rate increases this fall.
@MarketingVIP@LADWP Garcetti’s on the take just like the City Council. One has to wonder what the kickback $$ are like. Probably better than what Koretz and crew pocketed for the plastic bag fraud created to line the pockets of their feiends.
@BestCoast4Life@LADWP @KNX1070 People should also examine the pensions these people (and other) public employees receive in CA. Can’t wait until it all caves in. And it will.
