It takes money to do those things. Money is often scarce when one is unemployed. I do agree with your sentiment, and unemployment can be a very different thing depending on whom and where you are. Just thought it bears mentioning that one can manage to make a rent payment and eat on an unemployment check, but in my experience the remainder was not sufficient for use as venture capital. Also, while this is attributable only to my shortcomings, I had a generally bad time during unemployment. It can be a source of great stress, and a Catch-22: I would place it as one of the times in my life I was least likely or able to exhibit the creativity and drive needed to change my situation. Ultimately I did, by being creative and applying myself, but I hardly pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and it took time.

The literal blackout list https://poweroutage.us/ so your stance has become too nebulous and vague to address, not like it wasn't in the first place but before there was misdirection afoot and now I find the bath tepid. The best of luck to you in finding accurate historic blackout averages amongst the three grids, you crazy diamond

So you're asserting that other states could have more blackouts than Texas, overall, over a time period of... The past? And supporting it with an article about how Kansas' attachment to the national grids have already taken them off of the blackout list during this crisis. The only assumption being made is that the evidence supporting your assertion exists, and apparently that others should either find it for you or take your word for it. Again, if I've misunderstood I apologize, but I don't think I have.

This one doesn't make sense to me. In the body it lists the experts that witnessed installation of the software (right?), that they witnessed it, and that the software was an approved update to software that was rejected in 2019? It says the machines were verified etc. then just randomly concludes with a finding that there was enough suspicion of fraud to deny certification. So that's not really Dominion not certifying, that's more an opposed government official denying their certification on no grounds. Or have I misinterpreted the piece?

"Allied Security" does sound more legit than "Allied Special", more focused.

This is authored by a Harvard MBA. It references a globally something something team of cybersecurity experts but I couldn't find any of their information in the report. Strange they would want to leave their names out. The Allied Security Operations Group site https://asog.us/ certainly seems legit and not like the 2020 equivalent of an Angelfire page. https://www.google.com/amp/s/a... I guess he and his crack team were the ones responsible for mixing up precincts from Minnesota and Michigan. We all have bad days.
