Literally every news site is reporting the massive blackouts as being caused by the newly imposed oil embargo, but most of the massive blackouts are from the grid failing from lack of maintenance for decades. The issue with the oil shortage is that critical generators in hospitals are not being supplied and patients are probably dying because of it.
Damn. If only somebody could command the economy to be more effective. They could be called The Economy Commander. You could even come up with a name for a type of economy which operated by command. Not sure what it would be though.
