^It is a really low blow. Shockingly bad for business at all levels and totally undermining of investor confidence - something we could use round about now. Just what we don’t need! I saw an interview where one gentleman, who is an expert in the field, says we can look forward to electricity disruptions for the next five years, at least.
We’ll cope – we always do, but it’s really stressful and tiring - utter b/s that the taxpayer’s money is continuously being swallowed up by incompetent, bungling idiots with no social or moral conscience and dodgy associations. It’s criminal actually – we’ve been stolen from – big time. Mind you, many African countries suffer this same fate and there’s so much mayhem going on in the world at large, Mars begins to look VERY attractive!!
Which brings me to another point – astronauts say that they have this epiphany from outer space; that seeing the earth as a whole, without borders and divisions, a giant organism supporting all life as we know it, as our only home, makes a huge impact on the way they view pretty much everything and completely changes their interactions with people and the planet in general upon their return. Maybe someone should stick a few world leaders in a rocket and send them to a conference on board the ISS. Unfortunately not practical, I know, but one can dream!!
