#BadBunny climbing a power pole at the #Superbowl was a clear shot at the #hedgefunds that own #PuertoRico’s power grid, #LumaEnergy, for their diasasterous mismanagment of the grid in the wake of #HurricaneMaria in 2017.

#PuertoRico #LUMAEnergy has this cute little clause in their contract (forced on Puerto Rico by fed govt agency) exempting them from liability when their blackouts fry folks' appliances & medical equipment. DACO suing to overturn that.

#PuertoRico #LUMAEnergy proving one more time that privatization of essential services is a very bad idea for those who depend on the services. Massive recurring power outages aren't just inconvenient. Refrigeration & medical equipment don't just stop running, they're fried/destroyed w/ the surges.

#PuertoRico #HurricaneSeason *How* many years after #LaJunta forcibly privatized the power grid to #LUMAEnergy to supposedly repair & maintain it? Puerto Ricans got the "cost+" part of privatization along w/ all the money going to shareholders & none to fixing the grid.

Bad Bunny plays, Puerto Rico goes dark. While Luma Energy deflects, the US-appointed PROMESA board continues to push privatization, enriching foreign corporations & leaving millions in literal darkness. Colonialism isn't just history. #PuertoRico #LumaEnergy
