There are a lot of questions that are upstream of yours. Or at least, that illustrate why your questions are aggressively framed in a specific ideological directions and it's possible to frame them in the other…
> I am positive that people in hospitals died as a direct result of this incident. I'm less positive than you, just because my experience of healthcare infosec is that all a doctor has to do is say "I cannot be slowed…
I suspect a part of Elon's issue is pure ideology. However, I am a railfan (I even ride long-distance Amtrak for fun) and a Texan advocate of building HSR from Dallas to Houston, and I have to say he at least has a…
> The President's power as Commander in Chief is enumerated, so having Seal Team 6 whack DeSantis would be absolutely immune to prosecution. This does not seem to fit either the examples set in the majority opinion or a…

Because "Department of Energy" is a friendly name for what should really be the Department of Nuclear Weapons, a subsidiary of the Defense Department. DoE does a lot of civilian stuff now (electrical grid,…
Other U.S. laws regulate both safety and environmental issues, but you seem to be assuming that foreign vessels are more likely to break them than the Jones Act. As far as I can tell, though, the Jones Act doesn't…
"Because it's hard to impossible to get alternate services for roads, water and electricity, i.e common carriers." You are omitting telephone service, which is also a common carrier despite being arguably more…
This makes sense, though I'm still not sure I understand exactly how it works. Thanks!
As far as I can make out, this narrative is simply not true, at least not with regard to power generation. Texas is subject to the same NERC regulations as the rest of the U.S. and Canada.…
