My understanding is that it's a safety issue. Currently, substations have source power shutoffs so any lead-in power source can be easily cut off to replace equipment. But, they're not set to handle other power inputs in the substation grid. I've never fully understood this reasoning as once power is handed off from one substation to the other (to prevent outages) it should be completely dead to do maintenance. It might be my ignorance on it but I can't see how this is a problem and is likely a method by power companies to reduce solar usage by forcing expensive equipment between the grid and household.

They're also safe from electric fans. Metal chopsticks + no fans stealing their souls while they sleep... Actually, I can't even finish my thought on this one. I'm a US citizen. South Korea is doing pretty well by my current standards.

I'm far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.

There's still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that's who and when it would be done. I'm not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I've got no reason to think that it's not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

It's we. It's our government. It's our country. Any action or inaction is on all US citizens.

Seemingly thousands of people currently, based on the video and I've seen reports that more are showing up every few minutes.

Yeah that happens when you take away people's financial stability and/or money in general. No one plans to spend it they plan to save it.

We're going to be damned lucky if we get the chance for people to be played again.

I had to read the headline like ten damn times. And the description is still undecipherable to me.

I'm sure everyone knows this track but sometimes we overlook the most prominent tracks. It's good to revisit.

It doesn't sound to me like he thought he was above the law. He seemed to know the consequences. He just didn't think that Trump should be above the law. Or, at the very least, above presidential decorum.
