Except it’s not, because potentially hundreds of thousands of people, who are most definitely not “the elite”, actually rely on them for, y’know, power? You’re not fucking over “the elite” by fucking with public infrastructure. They have backup generators and batteries and plenty of other ways to run their houses. Not only that, with something like a substation, they’ll probably cry to the government for help with an emergency outage and it’ll just be more public funds going to the.
Also, lots of electric utilities are not investor owned.
Plenty of electric cooperatives and municipal utilities out there that care more about providing affordable power than making huge profits.
Anyone looking into these utilities will see how often they run close to the wire - staff (even leadership) often don’t make a lot, and their budgets are tight.
I tried to make this argument about the economy as a whole during the first couple weeks of the Lockdowns, and was accused of wanting to sacrifice people’s lives to the DOW
It’s actually wrecking the property of the capitalist elites and their supporters.

Wow. Maybe you should reread my comment.
I didn’t advocate burning down substations.
But, hey, you just keep on taking things wrong and ranting.
No one said you did.
Maybe you should learn to read before condemning others.
Unironically yea.
