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.

Want to know what happens when things get connected to the internet? Let me introduce you to Shodan.
Unheeded cybersecurity threat leaves nuclear power stations open to attack
Shodan: The scariest search engine on the Internet
I never imagined a nuclear plant's control system being online
The U.S. ‘No Fly List’ Found On the Open Internet
Shodan: Still the Scariest Search Engine on the Internet?
Exploited Solar Power Product Vulnerability Could Expose Energy Organizations to Attacks
And the list goes on. Image what the next war looks like when countries actually strike through the internet.
- It can be hacked if it is connected to the internet.
- Insider threats are your greatest threats.
- Look up Operation Orchard. The tech exists to overwhelm air traffic control with completely false tracks and has been around for years.

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.
Thoughts?
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.

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?
The first few years we lived here, our grid was government run and we had outages every hint of weather. It was privatized and it's rare we have an outage now, if we do, it's not long.
Name *one* thing that the government runs well (money laundering and war mongering excluded).
To @Marauder06 point; I’m all for a true free market in regards to every single government funded/ran entity. Imagine if multiple different companies would fight to see who can get your DMV task done the fastest?
