Morning again, all,
My Life Is Insanity, condolences to you. I know you've been struggling with your mother's health all year. I wasn't present when my mother passed either, and while I know it wasn't my fault (the not being there), it still bothered me for a long time.

Preview of coming attractions, see it here next: South Africa's electrical grid is in a state of collapse, with power being turned off for as much as 9 hours a day in most of the country. AP story:
http://tinyurl.com/3ryfyy66 analysts believe it will take years to stabilize the power grid, (if ever) due to years of underinvestment. As with all energy issues, this leads to a death spiral for the economy: "The most direct economic consequence is when businesses have to stop production because they don't have electricity ... whether you have a factory, a travel agency or you have a shop," said Trollip. "Whenever economic activity is disrupted because there is no electricity, that is a direct cost to the economy."

6/4 Update – Eli has woken up after surgery and is starting to show hopeful signs.

The South African situation, similar to what is happening in Sri Lanka, illustrates the most critical failure in the thinking of those who have brought about this energy crisis. They told themselves that if they brought about an energy shortage, some new forms of energy production (which they could control) would emerge. (Seriously, the Davos group said that openly)
But in actual fact, when you destroy the energy sources of a country without having any real plans to replace it, that country simply collapses, economically and socially. That's what is happening to South Africa and Sri Lanka right now. Posted by: Tom at July 02, 2022 09:17 AM (r46W7) 47

This is a common feature in the work I do in tech: Lack of clear vision. There are so many companies that start off with a spark of an idea, sufficient to get initial funding, then its off to the races with no plan. How I personally work is by starting at the end point and working myself back to where I am Right Now. For almost all of the world, there is a Magical Goal Out There and every step is one of discovery, bumping into things, and chasing squirrels. Complete and total lack of mental discipline.

ZH has a story about a Polish/Uke citizen captured by the Russians (technically the Donbas people).
The amusing part is this the flip side to all those videos of prisoners the Ukes released. The guy claims he was conscripted against his will, got no training, was promised he wouldn't be sent into combat and then was...sent into combat, that the conscripts are used as cannon fodder, and that they have no idea how to use the weapons the US sent them.

So reverting to politics for a moment...
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R, sorta) is term limited and not running for re-election. Hogan holds an approval rating in the Democratic State of high-60/low-70, a historical high. Hogan has endorsed one Republican candidate, and Trump has endorsed another. Oddly enough, the Trump endorsed candidate is beating the Hogan endorsed candidate rather badly amongst Republican voters in the State. Seems they would prefer the full-throated conservative to the Democrat-lite. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at July 02, 2022 09:28 AM (1n+EO) 82

You don't need C-4. You just need Democrats. Each day they will impress you with ingenuity in how to take a sure thing success and turn it into a fetid depression of stool. Some domestic terrorist group will organically arise and go directly to burning down the forests near power lines. Others will discourage maintenance and let entropy take its course. Some will overburden the system and cause failure. Others will devise plans to regulate into destruction supply, impoverish users, and make power so unreliable, out of spec (frequency/voltage) no one serious uses it.

Some domestic terrorist group will organically arise and go directly to burning down the forests near power lines. Others will discourage maintenance and let entropy take its course. Some will overburden the system and cause failure. Others will devise plans to regulate into destruction supply, impoverish users, and make power so unreliable, out of spec (frequency/voltage) no one serious uses it.

And door is open if y'all wanna head down for a short break, and are able to travel. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at July 02, 2022 09:22 AM (1n+EO) Much appreciated. But unfortunately my lovely wife is unable to travel. She wasn't able to make the hour long trip with me to NC for my Aunt and Uncle's 65th wedding anniversary this past weekend. It's all she can do to make the trips to her doctors. Part of it is her physical discomfort in being out of breath after a few steps and her desire to save me from having to push her around in her wheelchair if we were to go out anywhere. I've often told her that I'm glad to do it, but I guess she's thinking about me and my physical health, too, what with my heart procedure last year.

>>> 28 Preview of coming attractions, see it here next: South Africa's electrical grid is in a state of collapse, with power being turned off for as much as 9 hours a day in most of the country. AP story:
http://tinyurl.com/3ryfyy66 analysts believe it will take years to stabilize the power grid, (if ever) due to years of underinvestment. As with all energy issues, this leads to a death spiral for the economy: "The most direct economic consequence is when businesses have to stop production because they don't have electricity ... whether you have a factory, a travel agency or you have a shop," said Trollip. "Whenever economic activity is disrupted because there is no electricity, that is a direct cost to the economy." Posted by: Tom at July 02, 2022 09:11 AM (r46W7) We are SMAHHHHHRRT.

On this day 2015, comment from the archives:
Let's sweep away the lies and just say it out loud: 90% of the left's attempts at social control are simply attempt to outlaw behaviors they perceived as favored or engaged in by 'traditional" "conservative" "old-school" "white" etc. people. Thus, a liberal can simultaneously demand that cigarettes be outlawed but marijuana be legalized. Why? Because (in their conception of social reality) marijuana is a leftist intoxicant favored by the "counter-culture" while nicotine is a right-wing intoxicant favored by the "dominant culture." "The Man" smokes cigars. "The Rebels" smoke weed. That's all there is to it. ...It's absolute juvenile revenge fantasy, leftover from the '60s. That's all it is. The younger generation of activists are automatons acting out the revenge fantasies of their professors. -- Zombie And all one has to do to find the origin of the current "pride" filth is see zombie's research on the Folsom Street Fairs from the 2000s. Current "pride" marches are simply the Folsom Street Fairs spread nationally. Zombie was LibsofTikTok before Twitter.

Same mentality for places like the media, ESPN, Disney, etc. They don't care about going broke by going woke. The wokeness is the purpose. They will keep pushing it until it is the new normal, even if they take financial hits in the short term.

Not to mention, they have completely transformed those institutions to not only support BLM with messaging propaganda, but have also setup massive funding of BLM organizations. Every dollar fans spend on MLB or the NFL is going to support BLM, CRT, etc. Yet people like Clay Travis and every other conservatives who blasted those leagues in the past for that are now fully supporting them again. Because they push the betting on these leagues as part of their careers. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 02, 2022 10:41 AM (Do5/p) 288

Posted by: MPPPP ---- Or in my case, the HS band decides to travel to Orlando for a competition and... hey, Disney is right there! Of course the kids must be allowed to go to the parks.... I'm basically forced to pay for my kids to go. The alternative is to say no, gets them kicked out of band, and have them hate me. Choices...choices... I did seriously consider the proper choice but when the band experience is your kids favorite part of school, it's hard to say no. And there are several other families that attend my church having the same dilemma. Several moms are going as chaperones so I know they will keep an eye out on my kids.

Major league sports have been spitting in Americans' faces for years and people still watch sportsball. Disney is betting that the current outrage is transient and they will still be able to fool the families.
..... Attendance is down in every one of the big four, save for the NFL, which ended a 3 year attendance drop with a slight uptick last year. College football attendance continues to drop. Last year's Super Bowl had 34.3 million viewers as compared to 52.2 million in 2011. That is a 35% drop in ten years. NBA Finals viewership was down around 40% from 2015. NHL Finals down 20% from 2019. World Series the 2nd lowest ratings since Nielsen started tracking. Not all of that is attributable to politics, obviously pandemic restrictions and rising costs of attendance are significant factors. But alienating a portion of society doesn't help. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 02, 2022 10:46 AM (NSWcw) 310
His strategy was to first attack segregated state-run institutions, especially professional schools. With a long string of wins he then went after ordinary schools. He would have argued Brown but he died the year before at age 54. Thurgood was his protege and he picked up the baton.
It wasn't just nine white guys in robes waking up one day and deciding to do the right thing. We don't even know our own heroes. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 02, 2022 10:47 AM (i0slg) 311
"If the federal government will not have sweeping laws to protect us, then our states and our governors have a moral responsibility to do what we can and have laws that protect our citizens," Hochul said, condemning the "insanity of the gun culture that has now possessed everyone, all the way up even to the Supreme Court."
Posted by: mallfly the Peach of Hoboken at July 02, 2022 10:40 AM Democrats like Hochul are the ones responsible for the nation's gun violence. The areas of the nation with the most gun violence are the Democrat-controlled cities with the strictest "gun-control" laws in the nation. In addition, Democrats like Hochul in every Democrat-controlled city refuse to enforce current "gun-control" laws or enforce most crime laws in general. Which serves to incentivize crime. Thus, logic would dictate that the simple way to stop gun violence is to (1) strip every "gun-control" law in every city and (2) enforce every crime law on the books. But Democrats refuse to do that. Which proves they don't give a damn about gun violence. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 02, 2022 10:47 AM (Do5/p) 312

Had a conversation with a friend about the insanity of the USA politics. We never really talk politics. He thinks that there are crazies on both sides, yeah maybe but it is 20-1 differential. He thinks that grooming kids is a republican fantasy and hate the pronoun thing the leftists are forcing on us. He wants the government to fix the crises that government has made, specifically democrat run government but again thinks it is both sides fault.
All OK, not my views but at least withing the zone of reality. BUT the kicker is he thinks it is all religion's fault for our mess and that if they paid taxes the $35 trillion in debt would be eliminated. We moved to another subject when I did some maths for him on the absurdity of how much religion was making even fi taxed at 25%. And this guy is a reasonable democrat in is mind.

Here's what's worse for professional sports, inflation and the recession are likely to gut them even further, as families begin to scale back entertainment budgets.
They could perhaps hope to recoup some of their viewership on television, but the pandemic showed that even people being relegated to their couches won't necessarily make them turn on their televisions. While this isn't likely to effect the leagues themselves, as they have guaranteed television contracts, sports networks that have invested heavily in broadcast rights are going to be seriously hurting. ESPN lost 10% of its subscription base last year, while simultaneously bidding $3 billion contract for the rights to broadcast SEC football over 10 years. They paid 5 times what CBS did during the last 10 year cycle. If you want Disney/MSM to go broke, keep cutting those cords, it's happening. Death of a thousand cuts.

It's sorta' weird how all of a sudden this "Liberal World Order" shit just popped up. Almost as if a signal was given. I guess it's a rebranded "Great Reset" or "Green New Deal" sort of thing. Still, someone with a bit of gumption ought to ask just what exactly the term Liberal World Order means. And why they presume it will have to be "liberal."
Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 02, 2022 10:48 AM No different than the transition from "global cooling" to "global warming" to "climate change". The end goal stays the same, they just change the name. The Left does this with everything, every issue. They never change their actions, they simply change the narrative about what they are doing. Think back to when Project Veritas exposed ACORN and their voter fraud. People thought that was some big win, when it did nothing more than have all those people change the name of their voter fraud operation and keep on going. Remember the 2008 economy crash, in part due to CDOs. Banking system simply changed the name of CDOs and kept on with business as usual. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 02, 2022 11:07 AM (Do5/p) 372

While this isn't likely to effect the leagues themselves, as they have guaranteed television contracts, sports networks that have invested heavily in broadcast rights are going to be seriously hurting.

Your best bet for PS5 at sane pricing is to sign up for one from the Amazon and Sony waitlists and have any of your friends and family who don't want one sign up as well. Then when it pops up transfer them the money and have them buy it for you.

Posted by: BignJames at July 02, 2022 11:03 AM (AwYPR) Perhaps it's the "Russians" that are actually Ukrainians. Way back in ancient history, Kiev was a major city and trading hub between Western Europe and the Eurasian continent. Meanwhile, Moscow and the surrounding areas were heavily forested land full of Brigands and Kulacks. Or so I read one time.

Speaking of governors and head-scratching moments:
In response to SCOTUS ruling on Dobbs: Governor Jared Polis stated that politicians should not be involved in healthcare decisions. “We will continue to choose freedom, stand against government control over our bodies, and will not retreat to an archaic era where the powerful few controlled the freedoms over our bodies and health decisions. This is the same Gov. Polis who issued roughly 400 executive orders during the first 18 months of COVID, demonstrating his commitment to stand against government control over our bodies. /s Posted by: Muldoon at July 02, 2022 11:19 AM (kXYt5) 393
Essentially, every Western country has been doing stupid shite these past few years (I know, I know), and this is England's version. It's silly and pointless, but that's England. Whereas Australia is turning into fascist jackboots, and America is.... well, everyone here knows what we are.
Posted by: BurtTC at July 02, 2022 10:52 AM MLB players are not allowed to play in Toronto against the Blue Jays if they are not "vaccinated". So there is a special "COVID Injury List" or some such on which MLB teams put any players who are not "vaccinated" during their team's series in Toronto. There was a segment on MLB Network the other night where the panelists of two former MLB players -- one was Billy Ripken, not sure of the other -- insinuated that any non-"vaccinated" players were not good teammates. Oh of course they prefaced their comments with "I believe everyone can make their own choices, but..." And this is the narrative everywhere. There is no one in any sport who would challenge those statements on air and say "the government of Canada is the institution in the wrong, mandating a shot which does not even prevent infection or spread of a virus."

I did seriously consider the proper choice but when the band experience is your kids favorite part of school, it's hard to say no.

AOP,
I wish, but it is a big group and they don't allow the kids to go do separate things like that. They assign them to a smaller group that is allowed to wander the park and go on rides but they have to stay together and meet up to check in at certain times.

All you fellow-morons looking specifically for chicken thighs and finding only chicken legs: there's nothing "Odd" about that. Apparently there are lots of people, not just you, who specifically want thighs, not legs, or wings, or quarters. The problem is that the other thigh-hunters got there first.

75 How much C-4 would it take to take out power lines supplying electricity to Northern California? This has been in my thoughts lately. Dittos Manhattan.
Posted by: Head puddin Point of Order: Northern California supplies a lot of power to Southern California through hydroelectric generation: see Shasta Dam. Whiskey Town Dam. The electric grid includes dams on the Columbia River in Oregon. I have contended for many years that six people, acting in concert, could paralyze the entire West Coast in a week through sabotage of the water system, communications, and electrical grid. C4 would not be required. Re. NY: The First Nations Peoples of Canada own hydroelectric facilities that probably supply some power to the North Eastern US. NY shut down the nuclearvreactorvthat supplied, IIRC, 20% of their electricity. The grid fragile. The veil of civilization is gauzimer thin and fragile as Nancy's smile.
