LA Mayor Orders Electricity Cut To “Party House”

Yay, Big Government

L.A. cuts utilities to ‘party house’ in Hollywood Hills

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti ordered utilities cut off Wednesday at a home where “several” parties have been held in violation of social distancing rules during the coronavirus pandemic, his office said.

Garcetti had vowed on Aug. 5 to disconnect utilities at homes where local laws prohibiting large gatherings are repeatedly violated.

“With more than 2,000 Angelenos — and over 170,000 Americans — lost to COVID-19, we need every resident to undertake critical safeguards to stop the spread of this virus,” he said in a statement. “That includes not hosting or attending parties that put themselves, their neighbors, and many others at risk.”

So, hey, Liberals, do you enjoy Government having the power to cut your power off for Wrongthink? You talk of freedom. This should scare you all.

Think of it this way: what if Trump, or a Republican governor or mayor, decided to do this to someone else: would you be fine with it? Call it Fascism? Call them dictators? Or defend it? What if they did it to you? You cool with that? These are the people you vote for, willing to exercise Power via energy that you pay for. Is it such a great idea that Government has this much control over your energy?

While the picture maybe absurd, the idea isn’t. And it is not a parody: it originated via Maine Public Radio, as linked in the article.
