The outage had a significant and unacceptable impact on public safety, including disruptions to reliable access to emergency communications and critical response systems. In addition to public safety risks, these outages have caused substantial and ongoing inconveniences to residents, businesses, and local institutions, many of whom rely on wireless service for employment, healthcare access, education, and daily operations.
Being without a phone for only eight hours got me thinking about a bunch of shit, but mostly about war. Yup - what's gone happen in WWIII?
Well, it won't be a land war, I'm fairly confident of that. I think it'll be a cyber war. Power and communication networks taken down, financial shit becomes inaccessable, transport systems crippled to the point that food deliveries are delayed or not at all, and on and on.
I'm not one of those doomsday prepper types, but it did get me to thinking, especially the money part. Might be time to cash up a little. Juss' sayin'...

Jeff Bezos moved from Washington to Florida after Washington’s new capital gains tax, and the aftermath was not symbolic.
It was reported that the move contributed to the loss of roughly a
billion dollars in expected tax revenue.

This is a structure that prints cash in boom years and becomes brutally volatile when markets soften or when the most valuable taxpayers decide their best move is to stop being taxpayers here.Some critics argue that in an extreme reading of how the proposal interacts with tech’s super-voting share structures, the burden could feel even more punishing in practice, pushing founders toward selling stakes they never intended to touch.
This, if it happens, will be the best example to date of the laws of unintended consequences. Wait and see.

Billionaire author J.K. Rowling, who once survived on $100 a week in Edinburgh and wrote in cafés to stay warm and soothe her baby, now explores the world aboard her $150 million superyacht, whose annual upkeep costs more than she could have earned in centuries.

A stranger rushed to rescue two toddlers who wandered into busy traffic in Florida while their clueless family was blocks away at an Airbnb, according to harrowing footage.
John Brittingham, a father of five, was cruising through Brevard County on Sunday after wrapping up a real estate photo shoot when he personally halted traffic to help two little girls who toddled right into oncoming traffic. He pulled over and scooped up the first toddler, who had wandered into the middle of the road, in one arm while waving his free hand to stop the other drivers on the road. The second girl, who was closer to the sidewalk, shuffled over to him and held her arms out.

It's 1963. I'm barely 10 years old and I'm either listening to Murray the K on WMCA or Dan Ingram on WABC. The little tiny battery-powered Transistor radio that I keep under my pillow is my escape device. I'm falling in love with girls and music at the same time. What a GREAT time to be alive. These are the top 20 songs of the year 1963...
1. Sugar Shack, Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs
1. Surfin' U.S.A., The Beach Boys
3. The End of the World, Skeeter Davis
4. Rhythm of the Rain, The Cascades
5. He's So Fine, The Chiffons
6. Blue Velvet, Bobby Vinton
7. Hey Paula, Paul and Paula
8. Fingertips, Pt. 2, Little Stevie Wonder
9. Washington Square, Village Stompers
10. It's All Right, The Impressions

it's 1963, I'm 22, finished college and in grad school; I'm a smarta$$ who knows everything about everything.
ReplyDeleteit's 2026, I'm 85, been finding out over the past 63 years I don't know jackshit 'bout nothin' but I'm learning
A little cash makes sense, but the kids won't be able to make change unless you have electricity for the registers. I'm not telling you what to do, but I have food, water and propane, batteries, flashlights, fire extinguishers and a weather radio. Just in case.
ReplyDeleteHow many jobs is J. K. creating with that yacht? I would far rather she spend that money on herself creating jobs for people who work for a living than have the government take it and give it some Somali day care centers.
ReplyDeleteThe land war in WWIII will be between patriots agains't the commie scum, muslims and democrats. The rest will be drones, emf and missles. imho
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the robots.
ReplyDeleteThey played Blue Velvet everyday in the school cafeteria until I couldn't stand it.
ReplyDeleteJoseph McCarthy was right about EVERYTHING! Your "out of context" comment, leads me to believe you're suffering from Normalcy Bias Propaganda Syndrome. 80% of America is, so you have lots of company.
ReplyDeletePedo-Joe Biden earned the Medal Of Freedom because he freed the criminals and illegal aliens.
ReplyDeleteHe was their Abraham Lincoln.
Joe - Nice catch on that story of the rescue of the two toddlers.
ReplyDeleteIt happened just yesterday (1-14-26) in Brevard County, Florida on busy highway A1A.
John Brittingham, the toddler's saviour, deserves a medal.
The dunce parents deserved to be Bitch Slapped for a couple of hours every day for a week or so.
Sadly for many people's feelings, Sen McCarthy was right.
ReplyDeleteHollywood was and is full of communists, socialists and fellow travelers (actual commies and socialists but not registered and card-carrying commies and socialists.) Who made very anti-American movies and plays. So Joe was right about that.
The US media at the time was being taken over by communists and socialists and were reporting everything with an anti-American slant. So Joe was right about that.
The US State Department was basically taken over by commies and socialists, directly or indirectly under the pay of the
USSR. Which was found out by the State Department's own investigations, which McCarthy used to base his crusade on. So, well, Joe was right about that, too.
And look at the spies caught giving the Soviet Union all sorts of secrets in the 40's, 50's, 60's and on. So Joe was right about that, also.
Hmm... It's almost like the people that hated Joe and hounded him out of office, being Hollywood and the Media and various unions like the Teachers' Unions, were all under the control or pay of the USSR. Which, again, means Joe was right.
