    TL;DR - de-regulation.

    Basically companies don’t want to pay to make shit freeze-proof, or provide ample surplus to cover when emergency conditions spike demand… so they don’t.

    Their unchecked ability to do cost-cutting / profit-maxing with inadequate infrastructure minimums set by government oversight = consumers bearing the consequences.
