Bi-Decade Power Shortage

Bi-Decade Power Shortage:
Started “as a way to divert power to the city broadcasting towers so that the rest of America could receive their beautiful brand of patriotic programming.” It originally lasted for almost a year, however due to “national budget cuts, the whole event will only last for a few months.”

In 2015 The Conversationalist created the #lastdayofpower to ask residents what they were doing on their final day.

Bonus Pay in 2016:
The San Isidoro City Council announced in November of 2015 that “All residents who are not under 30, work in a factory, have children or are currently medically alive” would receive a pay bonus (to compensate for the lack of work during the shortage) on the first rainstorm of the Summer in 2016.
