Cláudio Ramos Expresses Frustration Over Power Outage: "The number of foolish individuals is excessive"
In a fed-up tone, TVI presenter Claudio Ramos voiced his frustration over people's responses to the blackout that hit several European countries on Monday, April 28th.
In a tell-it-like-it-is Instagram post, he questioned:
"Why on earth am I the only one that finds it absurd that people are running to the supermarket to return the items they bought in a frenzy of self-centered consumerism, just because?"

Not only am I not alone in finding this situation absolutely ludicrous, but I can’t help but laugh at people who are sharing emotional testimonies about discovering they can survive without electricity, calling it a divine revelation. They claim they're addicted to their smartphones and are writing heartfelt testimonies because the blackout was a delightful turning point for them, allowing them to unwind and spend time they apparently didn't know they'd been missing. Good grief, people, should someone really be forcing you to spend the entire day on Instagram when there's power? Are you forbidden from going for a walk with your pets? Is it illegal for your kids to play outside, or for adults to visit the park or chat with neighbors while the internet is down? Are you under house arrest, confined to the couch with nothing but TV all day?
Does the world need more foolish individuals, heavens?
- Claudio Ramos' sentiments about the blackout-induced shopping frenzy seem to resonate deeply with many, as evidenced by widespread criticism on social media.
- Amidst the blackout, certain individuals have been posting emotional testimonials, referring to the power outage as a divine revelation about their reliance on smartphones for entertainment.
- It's fascinating to note that some people have labeled the blackout as a delightful turning point, reveling in their newfound ability to disconnect from online life, despite having alternative forms of recreation.
- In the midst of this blackout, some people are behaving in a rather funny and silly manner, as if they've been cut off from all social activities due to a pop-culture catastrophe, rather than a simple loss of electricity.
