The so-called butterfly effect is a tiny sense of knowledge. It is caused by a meteorologist who accidentally discovered that a slight change in the initial conditions will drive a long-term and huge chain reaction of the entire system. To some extent, it echoes the domino effect , indicating that in the chain reaction of a series of events, the tiny forces in the initial stage often play an extremely critical role.
politics does not go beyond this path. Looking back four years ago, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Ju went north to take over as Secretary-General of Tsai Ing-wen's office, which seemed to be without hindering the mayor's schedule for the early "internal decision" of the Green Camp; and the so-called mayor's party primary election is just another form of " intra-party democracy " and "democratic centralism" for the Green Camp, just to go through the formalities.
But who knows that as soon as Chen Ju went north, it was like Pandora's box being opened. It should be the municipal breakout of "eight jars and seven covers, covering them without breaking them". It was made public one by one. The fuse was the flood in August that year, but a rain fell more than 5,000 holes. Kaohsiung's "City of the Sky Kill" spread like wildfire. Three months later, the DPP lost its long-term spiritual capital Kaohsiung.
is only four years away, and history seems to be reappearing again. On the first day of the first arrival of the Kuomintang mayor Ke Zhien, who was just about to start working to register his household registration and "know Kaohsiung", he encountered a power outage in his office, which made Ke Da sigh whether the power outage is really "the daily life of Kaohsiung." After media interviews and reports, Taiwan Power urgently came forward to explain the reason to try to put out the fire, but it also triggered discussions about the outage frequency of Kaohsiung. In fact, as early as after Taiwan’s power outages in more than March, Taiwan’s economic authorities reported that the number of power outages in Taiwan in the past decade has dropped from 21,000 to 9,000 last year’s “political achievements”.
However, as Taiwan's economic department said it is true, the "2021 Electric Power Industry Annual Report" released by Taiwan in the same month clearly stated in the system reliability form that the actual performance value of each household in Taiwan in 2021 was 1.129, and the previous year was 0.238, with an annual difference of 374.92%. The actual performance of each household's average power outage time in 2021 was 62.026, and the previous year was 16.047, with an annual difference of 286.53%. As for why the factual gap between the data released by Taiwan Power and the number of power outages in Taiwan's economic sector is so different, showing an incomprehensible "self-contradictory", which reduces the number of power outages in Taiwan, but the average number and time of power outages have become more and longer. It is difficult to guarantee that the two sides have worked together to cover up the outage overview, but they still have to show prototypes after playing with the numbers.
It is true that the responsibility for the power outage is not with the local government, but the senior executives of Taiwan Electric must start to worry about the problem of losing their jobs. Now that the Taiwan authorities and local Kaohsiung are in power, the seemingly "small power outage" may not only cause the 5,000-sink pit of the Kaohsiung flood in 2018 to fail, causing the history of the collapse of the election situation in various counties and cities in Taiwan to occur; and the DPP authorities' major power outage crisis laid by the wrong energy policy is more like a hanging sword of Damocles, which may make the DPP pay the price at any time. If this is true, Ke Zhien accidentally connected the "power outage" with "Kaohsiung's daily life", which is very likely to prove the omnipresence of the butterfly effect again.
