After the huge one in North America and the minor one in the States, some organisation for economic development in the Netherlands has started thinking. Then they did some calculations. And the conclusion was that should we have a power cut in this country, the areas around the major cities (Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam and Utrecht) will be most affected economically. Therefore all available electricity should go there, so the least damage is done.

Well Einsteins, one does not need to do research to know that the major cities will be mostly affected. One could just think logically for two seconds. But is the Economy the only factor? Is the rest of the country less important? Yes, those four cities are the most populated, but the rest of the country still more than doubles the amount of people of the major cities combined. And so what if economic damage is done, so fucking what? Do people not count? Are you more important if you earn more money? What is next: only companies that use more than a certain amount of electricity get preference? Only people with a mortgage of over a million euro? What a load of bollocks. This country is losing its social face. I’m not proud anymore.
