elected leaders have concluded that decisions made by PJM are one of the main reasons utility bills have soared in recent years. They said the organization had been slow to add new solar, wind and battery projects that could help lower the cost of electricity. And they say the grid manager is paying existing power plants too much to supply electricity to their states.

It takes active recruitment if we want the military on the side of the people.

Even the big operations break in unexpected ways. Facebook accidentally broke the authentication for their door locks when they took the site down a few years back and had to fly people to a datacenter and break down a door to get to servers and restart things.

Yeah, but a bunch of today's events were in the county, not the city, and the county sheriff are the ones that are most willing to hurt people.

Edit: Gov Newsom is deploying the CHP. Hopefully they have orders to keep the other cops from going on a murder rampage

The sheriff is his own elected official, and you can't run for the position unless you're a cop.
