re: About That National Emergency Declaration to Secure Our Grid

So, is China or Iran attacking our grid or what?

I assure you, no matter what staged photo you see w/ the Governor - the true freak in that picture is Numero-uno, the Governor.

The fact that the only response you have to people is to assume they are the "other side" just highlights why you shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place.
Thankfully, I can, and already have for the primaries. Now, I'm looking forward to the general. I'll carry two others who will listen and follow my choices when we vote... hope it doesn't hurt your feelings.
re: What’s your age? Do you collect Social Security?

Why not? Are you trying to wait for later to get a larger amount? I plan to collect the day I become eligible even at the reduced amount. I figure I will be lucky if there is anything left to collect when I become eligible. Certainly not waiting around and really risking it.
Because, and I mean this seriously, I'd like to work a few more years. What I do is exciting and I feel important.
I'm also blessed to be able to put much of what I earn into savings/ 401k. The SS really isn't important right now but I'll only have this one shot. In the same field, my brother, one of the smartest people I know, retired at 68. It's coming up on 4 years now, and he 'thinks' he may have to work again. In the time he's been retired, his position doesn't exist in the industry anymore, thanks to AI. Think about that... only 4-5 years. I certainly don't want that for me, my wife and our disabled daughter.
But I get you and hope you are able to collect on that day you target.

Here is who I feel for....
That teacher. Yea, she probably voted this way, but you never know and ISLAM isn't compatible with Western values.
The taxpayers (I assume they are publicly funded) and we should really get the esteemed SFP's opinion on this -- However, I know from experience when your School District has $1 million lawsuits [but really settlements or judgements], that liability insurance is going through the roof in premiums. Guess we know who pays.

Folks won't like it, but he is correct. BTW, not all 'data centers' are the same -- Even I don't like crypto-currency mining.

Exactly the behavior I'd expect from our bourgeoisie class as well.

Meanwhile, gas just went up another $.15 this morning where I live.
Then again, it's called a holiday weekend and it happens every year. Oh well, In 25 more years, the 'surge' pricing will be unbelievable compared to today.

Cargo. In fact prior to the outbreak of the war I was doing regular flights to Kuwait, Saudi and Bahrain on behalf of the US military. I’ve done several trips to RAF Fairford dropping bombs off for the Air Force. We still do regular flights to Poland bringing munitions for the Ukrainians.

I asked Grok
Prompt: Are tankers transiting the strait of Hormuz
quote:
Yes — some oil tankers are still going through, but volume is a small fraction of normal. As of Aug 30–31, 2026 (about day 183 of the disruption that began late February), the strait is not physically closed. Ships can and do transit. Visible AIS traffic, however, is typically about 5 vessels a day over the latest weekend and has been running in the single digits to low teens most days, versus a pre-crisis baseline of roughly 70–130 commercial ships per day...
So, I don't get it.
Yesterday, you stated no tankers, only 'shuttles' (WTFTI).
Now you are using AI to tell everyone you were wrong?
BTW, I don't believe the response you posted was in good faith anyway... and that is was edited in some fashion by you. But you do you, Boo.
