Mandaris50. Write about a news event from when you were still in school and how it made you feel.
One news event that I haven't written about is the California Energy Crisis of 2000. It marked the first time that I heard the word deregulation and will always have negative connotations for me.
For me, I didn’t suffer too much as the occasional blackout only inconvienced me. For some, such as people connected to devices that needed constant power or were hit with rates that lead to financial instability, it was devastating.
In addition, it lead to a recall of the governor that lead to an absolute joke of a political race that still echos to this day.
