      Reminder also, that the electric grid is more complicated than this. We in America won’t lose power if he flips a switch, instead our municipality will be forced to purchase power from other sources. You won’t be inconvenienced, you will just have to pay more.

      Save for maybe full-scale nuclear war, the end result of every possible action by this administration and the people responding to them will ALL have the effect of making each of us pay more. This is the plan, this is why they’re doing it, they’re trying to drain the wealth of the average American so we become like any other developing nation with a massive population living in shanties and a wealthy elite who control everything and have no limitations to what they can do, because all the governing systems and oversight has been stripped. This is the plan, it’s not particularly clever, but it works fantastically well, just ask every other nation that’s been toppled from within by obnoxious authoritarians. America is not immune.

      Our only real hope here is that they move too fast and make people uncomfortable enough that people start rallying sooner than later. The ousting always comes, the worry is that it will be too late to save democracy and all the myriads of systems that have maintained a functional nation for a couple centuries.

      I’ve voted against Doug Ford 3 times now, but saying he’s more bark than bite isn’t really true. He’s already directed the LCBO to pull American booze from shelves and cease new orders.

      Did he ever rip up the Starlink contract?

      EDIT: He did it!

        He dropped it on the floor and bent over to pick it up and ripped open his pants instead

        What’s a word that sounds like no, is spelled with the letters n and o and makes is defined in the dictionary as

        “a way that shows a negative response”

        So to answer your question, he did in fact not rip up that contract. Hopefully today he does rip it up.

        Update: Ford has apparently ripped up the starlink contract with F’elon Musk ask his nazi party. Good!!
