A New Dark Age: California’s Blackouts Are Self-Inflicted
California, the richest state in the nation—and one that’s often portrayed as the progressive harbinger of the future for the rest of the country—has been hit with its latest Third World-style disaster.
On top of high poverty rates, skyrocketing homelessness, rising crime, and the return of medieval-sounding diseases, the state—specifically, the San Francisco Bay Area—has been hit with a mass blackout.
About 1 million people in one of the most densely populated parts of the country have had their power shut off by the utility company, Pacific Gas and Electric.

The "current state" of California, is due to one party rule, installed by voters.
Said voters are the product of decades of school and media indoctrination.

The article is misleading and demonstrates such a degree of ignorance of the SF Bay area that Google Maps would expose it.
First, only the fringes of cities that border on rural areas were affected. In Silicon Valley, that meant that the western edges of Cupertino south to San Jose and the eastern edges of Milpitas and San Jose were affected. In between, unaffected, were some 1.5M-2M people (our home included). The same was true all along the SF Bay Area, millions of residents were unaffected, including ALL of San Francisco.
Second, anyone capable of using and reading Google Maps can see that from Cupertino north to South San Francisco, 1/2-2/3 of the San Francisco Peninsula is rural, dotted with a few towns. Similarly, in the East Bay, from the Bay to I-680, 2/3 or more is rural, etc.. The North Bay is even more rural. The SF Bay Area is not even close to "one of the most densely populated parts of the country". Even in CA, the LA area, northwestern Orange County, San Diego metro area, and the Sacramento metro area are probably more densely populated that the SF Bay Area.
Stupid and ignorant hyperbole - assuming the author even knew it was hyperbole - like that diminishes the credibility of the article and CNS News as a news source.

--------------------------
The label 'Dark Ages' was an ignorant slander fostered by the secular Enlightenment.
While the Roman Empire collapsed late in the 5th century, it was in serious decline since 300 AD.
Roman Catholicism then emerged to stabilize Europe in promoting Monarchical governance,
by embracing and protecting the legacy of Greece and Rome as well as by nurturing intellectual
search and creativity in Art and Science at its Monasteries/Universities.
This led to discovery and invention in agriculture, in navigation and in measurement during the
High Middle Ages, advancing into the Renaissance.

You left out motor voter fraud by that one party ruling.
