I’ve started and deleted this rant many times tonight, but: Investor Owned Utilities should not be allowed to exist.
Especially ones that have killed customers repeatedly, and only maintain infrastructure because they’ve lost lawsuits.
The existence of IOU’s is another failing of society.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

I know this is a very niche thing to be annoyed at but I absolutely hate the way tech has coopted the term architect. Not one of these d-bags actually designed any systems or wrote a single line of code. They didn't build anything. I hate it (and their products).
