I'm reminded of two ice storms. And in the dead of summer, a number of my co-workers would keep the ERCOT website up on their secondary monitors. They wanted to be the first to know when it looked like electrical demand would exceed supply.
ERCOT can hardly make a single social media post without someone blaming them for people dying during the winter blackouts.
It was banned from appearing on the ban list.
Because if rational people don't serve as jurors when called, then only irrational people will serve and greatly increase the chances of innocent people going to jail or real criminals getting off the hook.
Vaccines are bad for you.
My faith in the entire medical industry was already shaky over the insane costs of medical care and rumors of medical journals printing lies...but the last three years accelerated my distrust from half impulse power to warp nine.
(30 days later after crime has gotten worse)
"The ban isn't working. We need to extend it indefinitely and go door to door confiscating firearms!"
Send them to my city. We need the rain, and the people who live here could use some wrath of God.
People in Austin are eating this up because this was hottest summer on record and driest summer in over 100 years.
Explain to them that natural phenomenon like El Nino and the Hunga Tonga sub-surface volcanic eruption may have played a major role in it, and they'll look at you like you're from another planet.
So in other words, we have to convert to it before we see what's in it?
They're doing all they can to take away our free will, and lying when we call them out on it.
"We're not FORCING you to quit your job, but if you don't take the jab we're firing you. And if I had my way I'd send you to a concentration camp right now, but I won't tell you that to your face."
If I were an evil investor with government connections, there is hardly anything different I would have wanted to happen in this whole mess.
Not getting water to the fire, not letting extra help in to normalize the situation, and basically stealing the property from the residents who lost their homes.
Even if it did start by an accident and it was handled incompetently, everything is coming together perfectly.
If my pilot isn't an unqualified POC then I'm taking my business elsewhere!
(after plane crashes)
The plane was poorly designed! By white male engineers!
I have more confidence in Ace Ventura when he tells the cop in the second movie regarding the bad guy "Arrest him. Go on, arrest him!" and the cop just folds his arms together.
You mean like a supernatural battle between God and Satan?
You're so close, Scott...
Tens of millions actually.
I prefer to get raptured first.
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
This is destined to happen before the tribulation and then the great tribulation.
-- Matt 24:37-42
It's all about the redistribution of money and control into the hands of megalomaniacs and insane people.
In a sane world we wouldn't even see "green = good, coal = bad." We would see risk-reward and opportunity cost grounded in reality. People come up with the most irrational reasons to not tap into resources readily available for us or to squander resources that are there...we can't build a coal plant because there MAY be a CHANCE of reducing an endangered worm's population by FIVE percent? We can't build a small scale nuclear plant because it reminds us of Chernobyl and Chernobyl makes us feel sad?
"Just deal with your blackouts and be thankful there aren't more, you bigot!"
Why is it even an option then? Legal CYA mode?
Musk: "We cannot ascribe nothing."
MSM: "Hold my beer."
I think this has to happen to pave the way for the Anti-Christ. He can't rise to power when the USA is full of patriots ready to risk everything and fight back to the death.
I think the rapture of Church will happen when the infrastructure for a new world order is fully in place and the corruption of the collective world leadership has reached a critical mass where it can only be brought down through divine means.
He wouldn't get in trouble even if he doubled down.
I plan to do that when I'm ready to retire; but I'm under no illusion that society won't come for me. So I intend to make like-minded friends and be at every town hall meeting where a blue-haired they/them has something to say.
You can damn well count on government leaders to fortify themselves to the hilt when trouble shows up. And they won't be afraid because their lives are in danger, they'll be afraid because there may be nobody left to serve them.
Wow that's one hell of a virus! Despite having all the symptoms of the common cold, it can not only take down an otherwise healthy person's respiratory system at any age and stay in their body for years causing every medical malady from brain fog to blood clots to cancer!
I wonder how such a thing can even exist and how doing all those things helps it to reproduce and spread...such a mystery /s
Coming soon to reddit, if the story isn't banned first:
"False and misleading. The numbers don't take into account how often they're in contact with sunlight, that Covid-19 weakened before reaching their small distant communities, and the definition of 'vaccine' and the phrase 'surrounding community' are at best dubious.....not to mention they're all anti-science anti-technology anti-vaxxer bible thumping bigot homophobes. (EDIT: Thanks for the gold, fren!)"
Dominion: "We need three other states to win? Hold my beer..."
