I'm assuming that is a poorly written sentence.
Velayati is the advisor.

Complete turnover of pitching staff and coaches?

I'm hoping Texas processes out about 60% of our staff.

Just kidding. Congratulations.
Those tankers the US attacked and set on fire....I bet IRGC was using them to launch drones and missles from. That's why they be complaining.

And maybe that is the plan for about 70% of the number of plants. Flatten out some large percentage and leave just enough to keep water plants and pumps operational. Hospitals operational. Sewage lift stations and treatment operational, etc. Rolling power outages so some refrigeration is available for small amount of food preservation. I don't know, but I'm sure something can be developed to cause pain but not the death of 100a of thousands if not millions.

Keep in mind, numerous waterborne and hygiene-related diseases will probably be on the rise.

They're doing the opposite here (NC). They just reduced the self checkout by 50% and beefed up the regular lines

Saw a report on Maria Bartiromo or Varney about this recently. Apparently people have been stealing at the self check-out stations. Stealing enough that it's cheaper to employ people instead.

I don't think anyone could have predicted this would happen. Sheesh!
That's all fine and dandy, not disagreeing. The part of the Brave response that caught my eye was 70% of pre-war generation has been knocked out.
You sound like one of those guys that likes to buy high and sell low. Yup, that makes for a poor economy.

Current unemployment levels haven't been like they are now since the 1960s. Boomers are retiring at the rate of 10,000/day, 365 days a year.

On line, pre-paid orders only. They've had enough of the thieving.
I'm sure they do have power. What I don't think has happened is.. Russia has never taken out the turbines that generates the electricity. And I'm to lazy to look up. Take out the turbines, and it's over. You can kiss the baby, over.

I guess I'm not quite as lazy as I wanted to be. Ask Brave about targeting turbines in Ukraine.

A question to ask is...How much more destructive efficiency would the USAF and IDF be compared to Russia drones and missiles? Russia cannot fly airplanes and bombers into Ukraine like US and Israel can in Iran.

quote:

Russia has systematically targeted and destroyed power turbines in Ukraine as part of a sustained campaign to cripple the country's energy infrastructure.

Direct Destruction: In April 2024, Russian strikes completely destroyed the Trypillya power plant near Kyiv, with its chairman confirming that missiles destroyed "the transformer, the turbines, the generators" and put the facility out of use.
Strategic Targeting: Energy officials and analysts note that Russian missiles have specifically targeted turbines and generators because these components are the most complex and expensive to repair or replace.

Widespread Impact: Since the full-scale invasion began, Russia has attacked nearly every power plant in Ukraine, disabling approximately 43.5 GW of generation capacity (over 70% of pre-war levels) by destroying maneuverable thermal and hydroelectric facilities where turbines are located.

Repair Challenges: The destruction of turbines has created a critical bottleneck, as large-capacity turbines are custom-made products that can take months or years to replace, significantly prolonging blackouts even after other damage is fixed.
People don't know or understand how dead things become with a true massive power outage. They truly don't know how much society relies on electrons flowing through conductive cabling and the hidden equipment those electrons keep operational. Sure people lived before without electricity in the past, but not in dense packed cities. Electricity allows the dense population. In addition, people and society were set up to live without electricity. Livestock was available as a power source. Ah hell, I'm tired. If we bomb all the power plants, millions die, and Trump knows this. Israel wants them all dead anyway, that's why they want power plants destroyed.

Hit the electrical substations

I bet it'd take years to replace those high voltage transformer that would be destroyed. Those don't grow on trees and usually require year or more of a pre-purchase package on projects that require them. With all the data centers being built across the world I bet there's a long order list.

Maybe somebody would give up their equipment for Iran?

Why do we have to go in and turn off the oil? It's their oil, their coast line, they're dumping the oil.

Actually, the Jim Jones drink of choice was Flavor-Aid, a cheap version of Kool-aid. Kool-aid just gets all the credit. Grape flavor of course.

It's a peeve of mine, apologies.

That was a poor drone show. Nothing sped off at 50,000 mph.
I don't mind admitting that I'm jealous of Arkansas' ball park. It's really nice with great attendance numbers. Never been there, but looks great from tv with good layout.
