A small reflection after experiencing a country wide blackout for over 10 hours:

- I am not prepared whatsoever for any disaster scenario. Losing power for 10 hours isn’t even exactly disastrous and I wasn’t fully prepared.

- We often take electricity and telecommunication services for granted.

- I should start keeping an always fully charged power bank around.

- Good job, Spain for getting it resolved in 10 hours. That’s actually impressive imo, but if it’s ever a cyberattack, we’re cooked.

- Being in shape counts when you have no choice but to climb the stairs without working elevators.

- Always keep some physical cash on hand.

- Procrastinating on my chores over the weekend would have been much more annoying if I hadn’t done them. ie. Supermarket, laundry, cleaning. (Yay chronic procrastinator proud of herself!)

- Call my mom more often.

Playing “The SIMS Pets” except this feels real. Cannelle is dog. Cruella is cat. I am mother.

Sorry you have to go through this.

These simple yet somehow not obvious facts is what I mean when I say to people to seriously work at avoiding socialism at all costs in every country, picture this: you’re me in 2017 with no electricity for a week, no running water service, no kitchen gas… that is Venezuela.

We weren’t prepared either.

Socialism also. It is the means to an end. 

Socialism is how dictators are made… and violent coups 🥲

socialism isn’t the problem, dictators are the problem
