I repeat, every time the power goes off, the salaries of South Africa’s members of parliament must go down with a few percentage points. Power off? Salaries down a few percentage points. They must pay a price for their incompetence that got us to these blackouts.

Is Eskom trying too hard to keep energy "Green"? Shutting down coal-fired power stations might reduce CO2 emissions, but at the enormous expense of load shedding.

There’s more coral on the Great Barrier Reef than at any other point in the 36 years since scientists started measuring it, and yet United Nations bureaucrats still want to take control of it because they are power-mad lunatics.

Seeing results of the US midterm elections, I now know that most Americans are stupid. I thought the 2020 Biden win was an aberration due to COVID lockdowns. I was wrong.
