I run a business flipping houses and remodeling rental properties. I was talking to the owner of the electrical supply house in our county yesterday and he told me they sold the last 200 amp meter base they had in stock the day before. They were probably one of the last stores in Tennessee that had any in stock. You can't build a house without one.
He also told me our power company has been removing transformers that are feeding barns or workshops. They don't have any spares to fix broken transformers in residential areas so they are stealing them from places that affect the fewest people. They haven't received any new transformers in several months.
The areas affected by the tornados last week are calling utility companies everywhere trying to find transformers and poles to repair the damage but there are very many spares left. He said if that storm had hit our county, he didn't think we would have the parts to get the power turned back on any time soon.
Crazy times ahead.
Demoralization > Destabilization > Crisis > Normalization
But you know, we gotta wait until more are awake. Wait long enough so that instead of 1984, we get brave new world.
Can’t convince a fool they’ve been fooled. Gotta trick them into figuring it out themselves.
can't convince american owners and managers to retain in-country manufacturing vs off-shoring. "sometimes you have to SHOW people"
The rot is deep, gotta destroy in order to rebuild. Can’t build on top of the rot, nothing will get fixed that way. Demolish and rebuild. Looks like Biden and the Dems are gonna be the one to take the blame for the demo job imo.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
Except this time we're not going to fucking allow it.
