Shutting down one of the major channels for shipping will certainly impact global trade, but I highly doubt it will create such a supply line failure that it will trigger a market collapse.

Covid did FAR more harm to our supply chain last year, and we survived that.

TIL I learned the word "mastaba". And it wasn't what I thought it might mean.

I suppose your friends are not Egyptians. That might be one reason for the difference.

I mistyped 2020 and went back immediately and edited to 2019, but my edit doesn't seem to have saved?!?

Mea culpa for not proofreading my original post before saving initially.

You are literally a year and half late on this. Ballers was cancelled Aug of 2020.

EDIT -- I meant 2019 but mistyped 2020

Great analogy, both of them married ho's.

I find it interesting that he said that he never spoke privately with Q. What does speaking publicly with Q look like? Twitter posts? I would say that's more like publicly speaking at Q, not with Q. Or is he talking about back and forths on the chan boards?

Looks like CSU uses Google Maps as its mapping tool. But your point still stands -- this is not an outage.

The difference is that the cost of wearing a mask versus the cost of the social pain caused by not wearing a mask was very wide. It was relatively easy to just go along with the scam so that you could do daily tasks like shopping or dropping your kids off at daycare without getting hassled.

However the cost of a vaccine is FAR different. And the fact that you aren't going along with the scam in this case is not anywhere close to as visible as it was with the masks.

So the equation is much different. At least for me. YMMV of course.

Got that same popup last night too. No way in hell!

Maybe she concealed carries on her ankle? Doesn't really look like a holster, but its all I can come up with. No clue.

Agree. To our prior thread, the ERCOT CEO and the chairman of Texas PUC were incompetent which is why they were fired/stepped down. Possibly corrupt too, but I don't know that. Either way I certainly don't consider them evil and/or part of the DS.

Of course ERCOT doesn't produce the energy. I'm not an idiot. But they can set regulatory requirements. If you don't meet the requirements you don't get to offer your generation into the market.

Note that I'm not absolving the PUC or Abbott here. Or for that matter, Texas Governors for the past 30 years. Lots of blame to go around.

If you want to sell your energy on the ERCOT market, then yes, you DO have to listen to ERCOT.

I'm assuming you are one of those people trying to blame the Biden admin for limiting ERCOT's output based on environmental concerns. I have no love for China Joe, but the EO the admin published did NOT constrain ERCOT in relation to this emergency. In fact it did quite the opposite.

Stop shilling for the bad decisions made by those that manage the grid.

Exactly. The lack of preparation in ERCOT was the key driver here, in terms of both infrastructure winterization as well as the acquisition of enough NatGas capacity. Renewables by themselves weren't the driver, but they were a factor, and there's still a huge over-reliance on them. ERCOT leadership clearly allowed short-term financial strategy to outweigh long-term risk mitigation.

Also note that ERCOT's lack of connectivity to the rest of the US grid was a factor as well. Neighboring ISO's MISO and SPP also had issues, but recovered much more quickly and could have helped share some of ERCOT's load. It's a long-standing political decision by Texas that finally came back to bite them.

PS. I'm an exec at an energy services company.

To be fair, this is one reason why many (not me) think that Q is a disinformation campaign by our enemies in order to lull us into complacency.

Compartmentalization

"Coming in a few minutes"

"posted 1 hour ago"

Is he ever not fashionably late?

Thanks for bringing this up. Was watching on YT but switched after seeing your comment. I need to make this much more of a habit.

Sean Connery agrees: https://files.catbox.moe/1vfkwz.gif

Actually it says "EPSTEIN DIDNT KILL HIMSELF"

Ha, agree! Unfortunately the ability to face facts is slowly draining away from many on the right. We are up against a very determined and entrenched enemy, and chasing ghost stories in lieu of facts is not going to help our cause.

Yes, ever since Jan 6 I have noted a dramatic change in how the pro-MAGA/Q/right-leaning sites have conducted discussion. The crazies are taking over. GA isn't the worst by any means though.

I agree with you 100% on that. I'm simply just saying it wasn't specifically Xiden's EO (or Huizenga) that caused this issue or prevented ERCOT from fixing it. In fact, the EO gives ERCOT all the authority they needed to solve the crisis, even if they had to go beyond lefty environmental preferences.
