Rolling Blackouts

[Grant]

It's really time to call this animal what it really is.

"Loadshedding" is little more than politically soft speak for Rolling Blackouts.

Too much lipstick has been wasted on the pig, it remains what it originally was.

It's all the same. It's not as if one term has a more positive connotation any more.

 

[bwana]

Ok - Rolling Blackouts it is...

Now that we've renamed it, what's changed?

 

[frost717]

Can't use that, it has "black" in it so it'll offend the Julius' and Malemas.

Less tourists, maybe more relief from first world countries.

Let us just call it load shedding rather.

Well obviously that means no more load shedding, right?

Problem solved, ANC style.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

I call it Eskom time

Easier to cope with it, psychologically it is a new problem

It's easier to cope with Rolling Blackouts than Load Shedding?

Yeah, "Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' Down the river"

You feel me Brother!

I also think loadshedding is just sugarcoating controlled rotational blackouts.

Whatever you decide to call it won't changr a thing, but it's still blackouts.

They're literally the same thing, but whatever makes you feel better.

I saw a clip of Richard Quest, of sometime CNN fame, and he was appalled that SA won't call it what it is, or do anything about it. The Apps to inform and predict are great but no addressing the root cause. I'll say it: ANC. He was too polite to.

What I am saying this exact thread has been done before and it has changed nothing, nor will yours.

They are literally the same thing - except the one is politically softer easier sell for the ANC than the other, and perhaps more palatable to the masses.

Seems SABC is no longer wasting lipstick on the pig

Who is the term politically softer on? Idiots?

Do people really not know they're the same thing?

Untrue. Here is a photo of a USA movie using Load Shedding in 2014. https://kimmarks4.wixsite.com/power...tside-south-africa-we-made-up-the-term-not-so
