Thanks!

Yes, funny that people did not mention that before..
Works for me and you can include attachments

I think it means to say "we have this secret exploit that we share with the TLAs etc. and we'll know when it becomes useless (public) when someone collects the bounty" /tinfoilhat

"...hail is a rather modern concept"

You're not suggesting Golf was invented before Caeser?

Oblig. Monty Python...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJMRxbECzow

Or Kevin?

Well, we do sing Hymns, not Hers

Mod up!

That's not was meant IMHO. Yes Putin is a Stalinist, but he's not solely responsible for climate change or malaria. I believe most here get that. However who is the most likely in this case to carry on 'chilling' all opposition by physical attack? The world wonders...

What? Ever looked up Spanish Flu or the Black Death?

Yes, but ironically America exports most of its light sweet crude because most stateside refineries are designed to handle imported stuff. Why? Because historically much cheaper, of course...

So...no need to torture your brains about where to get experienced people and production resources to reduce dependence on China and soon to be invaded Taiwan (now that Poo-bear is officially President for life, and the West has demonstrated its impotence in facing-down Putin over Ukraine).

Get these people working on what we'll need and send the money to US people in facilities based in the USA.

Or am I missing something? Oh yeah, it does not fit with short-term Wall Street financial returns and C Suite bonuses so we'll just toss these guys on the scrap heap.

Then despite Putin-driven challenges and cash being diverted into short-term solutions, this could be a strong signal for all the energy supply chain - from electricity generation (renewables, even nuclear) - to get their act together. Of course this would be need to be supported by attractive feed-in tarifs for people installing batteries and solar power at their places of residence, forcing new-builds to have the most useful facilities in terms of energy capture, usage and storage and all the lovely new cars being able to plug into a smart grid and pick up the slack when everyone starts cooking at the end of the movie.
Possible? Yes
Likely? Nope

And.....no fucks were given by anyone, anywhere. Seriously if you work at that POS company what do you expect?

Yup dupe...also you can bet dollars to doughnuts that the NSA already has this shit so has briefed all the other tlas and potus that killing this is in "the national interest"
