I almost bought a place in that town. Inspection caused me to walk away. Guess I lucked out.

Pay no attention to the ongoing string of problems with US infrastructure - we have a proxy war in Ukraine that needs funding.

Anyone else think this is sabotage? Cause it seems like the places getting wrecked are "conservative states". Antifa and their useful idiots were burning down farmland in Washington state during the riots three years ago. A small town in Washington went up in smoke and no one ever mentioned the cause.

More trains going off the rails, literally. No hazardous materials in this one, but also shutting down the middle of the community. (Crossing on Main St is closed off). And, 29 railcars is quite a few.

Just one more to add to the growing list.

Will be interesting to see the Sheriff's press release in 30-45min on it.

- Insider threats are your greatest threats.

It’s pretty crazy when this started I pointed out how on average this happens super often. Then it like continues to happen super often. Trains derail all the time in the US, this isn’t new. It is just another example of why our infrastructure blows.

Alberta is currently investigating a lot of this year's fires for arson. It's very similar across the country but the media isn't reporting it.

Maine wants to "nationalize" (so to speak) its power grid.

Our Power | Returning Maine's Electric Grid to Local Control

This November, voters will be asked, “Do you want to create a new power company governed by an elected board to acquire and operate existing for-profit electricity transmission and distribution facilities in Maine?”

Yes we do! When we win in November, we’ll get a nonprofit utility company owned by and for Mainers. It will save money, bring back local control, and reduce outages. That new utility will be Pine Tree Power.

I'm not anti-government. We need good governance to live the kinds of lives most of us want to live (i.e. not in a constant "state of nature").

But governments are inefficient. I think I'd rather have multiple legit companies competing for customers in the same space because that tends to produce the best results. I read the second link but it's not clear to me whether there is one "foreign-owned" (their words) company operating in the whole state, or if there are multiple companies.

Either way, government bureaucracies are not known for their effectiveness or their efficiency. If the complaint is "we pay more for less" right now... um... what do you think is going to happen when you start paying your electric bill to a .gov email address instead of a .com?
