Are there any down sides of having diesel ? <| sep |> Is anyone here from L . A . ? I I ' ve heard the stories , I ' ve listened to anecdotal comments from individuals who moved out of the city for this exact reason . But viewing it like this ? This is not normal nor is it healthy for humans to function in this way . I can only imagine a complete blackout of what I can only describe as a powder keg for maybe even less than 12 hours and it would literally fall apart People wouldn ' t be able to get to their jobs Children couldn ' t be picked up from their schools Crime rate would spike exponentially for brief moments Emergency services wouldn ' t be able to respond in timeEven though that ' s speculative it ' s a frightening scenario considering it ' s pretty plausible . But to sit in traffic for that long to get a job you probably hate already in the first place , not to mention it ' s a shit wage anyways . To be honest though , I really feel humbled in a way I live in a smaller city where it ' s not even a . 01 % of what this is . I feel for my California brothers .
