In 2020 the US forced colony Puerto Rico to privatize its electrical grid, selling it to LUMA Energy, which is half-owned by US corporation Quanta Services

Since signing the contract Quanta's stock has skyrocketed from $40 to $140

Meanwhile Puerto Ricans face constant blackouts

This is yet another example of disaster capitalism as described by Naomi Klein in her book "The Shock Doctrine"
