Jeez people can we get a grip?!

We need to start a doomsday panic scorecard.

Every time someone declares a civil war, or climate apocalypse, or nuclear armageddon & WW3 for the 9,000th time, it never comes to pass, but we just move on, so 5 months later they do it again, and people fall for it, again.

The apocalypse isn't happening in your lifetime, folks. The real shit is some overpaid bureaucrat in your municipal water district is gonna get lazy with their emails, and your reservoir is gonna be empty when some other overpaid state park bureaucrat forgets to monitor a smoldering plant for an entire week, then your entire town burns up in a wildfire, your grandma burns alive and then 400 more people die from accelerated cancers from the toxic smoke.

Buying into these theatrical fantasies of global catastrophe only serves our corrupt government, distracting you from the true menace in your life. It's so exhausting. I used to indulge in these catastrophic conspiracy theories, but I had to learn the hard way that it's just plain old government incompetence that's the biggest threat to your daily life.

Whether it's getting stabbed in the neck by some zombie that your taxpayer dollars are paying to keep drugged up, a foreign truck driver with a fake CDL issued by your state DMV plowing through your family minivan, or the esophageal cancer you get from the carcinogenic lining in the save-the-turtles paper straws they make you use...despite all the Chicken Littles throughout time, warning of some cinematic end to your life, it's communists in government who've quietly racked up 100M+ body count in the last century.

Stop indulging these cartoonish macabre fantasies and get real.

At some point, someone in europe or the US will go nuclear and remove a majority of immigrants that are not integrating with society. Either that has to happen at some point in time or there will be violent uprisings.

This is truly grotesk - first create the problem (together with buddies NYT, the ulta red journalist from the Economist, etc.) and now write about how worried you are over the consequences of creating the problem? People are not so dumb.

Jensen drove supply chain brilliantly at Nvidia, but many of those deals were a handshake with Jensen, not a written contract.

Without Jensen, at least some of those critical deals will be lost.

So...this isn't an ideal time to be in the middle of a flight?

Cool cool cool.

Now I'm worried the ATC network has a critical dependency on Outlook.

Radio and Radar?!

[Justin Hart @justin_hart]

So what happens to all the planes still in the air?

Here's how it works when the system goes down:

• Backup radios and the emergency channel kick in
• Airport towers and Canada relay messages
• Airlines text their own pilots in the cockpit
• Controllers hand off flights by phone and write strips by hand
• Pilots who lose contact follow set rules: fly the filed route, land on schedule
• Planes warn each other directly if they get too close

No new takeoffs until the radios come back.

🇺🇸 The FAA has ordered a NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP, halting flight departures across the United States.

And this almost NEVER happens.

Preliminary reports point to radio communication failures affecting air traffic control facilities, with the FAA citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns.

The last comparable nationwide ground stop came on January 11, 2023, when a major FAA computer outage disrupted thousands of flights.

Before that, the most infamous nationwide grounding was on September 11, 2001.

Aircraft already airborne are not automatically required to land. The order primarily prevents new departures.

The cause and expected duration remain unclear.

If this number is even close to reality, we have a serious problem—one I’m not sure can be solved.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

One of the greatest mistakes in US history was to be fearful of nuclear power. Nuclear power is energy-dense, cheap and safe, and if one actually believes the "green new deal" crap, nuclear power is clearly the answer to dramatically cut back carbon emissions.

Yet, if abundant nuclear power existed, how would the green new deal grifters make their money?

This argument below on AI is remarkably similar. It's like they just dusted off the 1980s "No Nukes" movement literature and repurposed it.

Hasan Piker says that single-payer healthcare is "the only solution."

Ezra Klein asks Piker what happened when Vermont tried to implement single-payer.

Piker is not familiar with it.

Klein explains that it fell apart because the hidden costs of the system suddenly become taxes.

Vermont abandoned its single-payer plan in 2014 after finding that it required an 11.5% payroll tax and income taxes as high as 9.5%.
