I feel like the additional unstated context is that nothing has changed.

Power outages are still a common threat, it's just that now they are caused by the power companies under the guise of wildfire prevention.

I don't care if my power goes out because of lack of supply or because you didn't maintain the transmission lines properly - the result is the same - I'm angry.



Shouldn't you control your emotions depending on the reason?


Sure, there might be cases beyond their control - but in general if I pay them to provide a service and they fail to deliver, I think my annoyance is justified.

If they are busy counting their profits instead of focusing on providing a safe, reliable service, then I think it's reasonable to be angry with them.
