governor. mayor. preacher. no one is advocating conservation.

when the hurricane hits who gets the juice? the data center or me on the roof?

where do the power line trucks head to after the storm? the hospital or the crypto mine?

then there are hurricane evacuations. i've got to get to baton rouge. maybe natchez. so do a million other people.

i understand we are not "at war" and may never be, but every destroyer airplane and drone needs fuel on this excursion.

my current working conspiracy : there is something so valuable under the ice of greenland that the epstein fraternity wants so badly that they are melting the ice caps to exreact.
