Hey is there any in depth coverage on the NO's pump problems and if they're all gonna explode when the rain hits?

Last I heard it's all crazy old WW1 machinery

Work on the 25Hz power production is still on going. They brought a turbine back up online after a tear down but it is still broke so they had to tear it back down. The are still working to rig locomotive engines to produce 25Hz power. Currently, they don't have enought 25Hz power to run most of the 25Hz pumps. So still bad news and chaos.

Kind of random but I had this concept explained to me in USPol of old and I forgot what it was called.

It was some sort of philosophical archetype about someone who is pessimistic and assumes the worst in most cases yet still lives their life under the assumption (false, in their eyes) that things can improve. ie someone who votes and goes to rallies and protests but sees no way out of the doom facing the country and accepts it's all for nothing.

It's been on my mind a lot lately and it still feels very topical.

And he hit the other hot button topic for the middle class - child care costs. We spend like 12K on daycare/PK. I cannot wait until my son is in kindergarten next year. It's almost as much as our mortgage each month.
