The goal is to prevent destruction and focus on replacements. Just accepting that shit is broken is dumb as fuck and shows literally no initiative or idea how things work.

Snow breaking the lines? Reinforce them with sturdier gauges. Poles getting downed? Guy wires, better poles, move the wires underground.

There are literally dozens of solutions that you have no fucken idea could be implemented. How long have you worked in power? Are you a lineman? Cause you must be the worst, dumbest mother fucker to work with power and not kill yourself.
