I have read on here a lot of posters criticizing Trump for not shutting things down himself but instead allowing the governors to do so. Now let’s flip it. Do you want Trump to determine when to open the country up or state Governors to open their states up as they see fit?

So let me get this straight...Joe Pizza’s wife sang about a virus for Trump to develop in secret army labs to then plant in a Wuhan lab that would eventually spread as a pandemic across the globe and the primary method of treatment the symptoms prior to finding a cure or vaccine is a decades old drug found to be incredibly safe in use for other medical conditions and is sold generically through a company that gazillions of people and Trump hold stock in and therefore the drug is only being used to make Trump money and not actually help people get better despite the fact it was being used by the Chinese and French before anyone even knew about in the US but clearly Trump set this whole thing in motion just to make a couple of dollars while collapsing the entire US economy that was obviously built by Obama in the first place like we were told 4 weeks ago.

Is that close??

If I was in Illinois I sure as hell wouldn't want the governors deciding after mine came out and said they aren't doing anything until there is a vaccine.

Generally speaking, I'd want the governors to decide. Bozeman Montana shouldn't have to pretend it is New York City.

It should be the governors. But the big time trump haters haven’t thought this out IMO.

Yeah unlike NYC, Bozeman is not being run by a big Bozo.

People need to let city, county, and state government pull their weight. That's why they exist. This isn't a one size fits all situation and that's all the federal government knows how to do.

My first quote was not in reply to something you said is possible. It was in reply to something you said you were sure of. You said this...



You can't possibly be sure of this, because this statement is wrong. The smart meters now cannot operate the main circuit coming into any location. I have a smart meter at my house. It cannot interrupt my service by any remote function. Only meters with RCDC capabilities can do that. That is not a function of a typical smart meter. In order to interrupt my service, a technician would have to come to my house, physically remove the smart meter, and install boots.

I was sure about the limitations of smart meters right now... meaning that they are only capable of only controling the main feed at best. Again, you even stated that they do exist in a small number of applications. I was making a general statement, not saying that ALL smart meters have control points.

As to controlling individual breakers at a customer location, I'm not even going to engage that conversation. If you consider broadly labeling something that nearly every residence has on their electrical service as having capabilities that only a small percentage do in regards to disconnecting and reconnecting as a minor detail, then yes, I am arguing minor details. I consider it as informing someone who has now been shown by multiple posters as being out of his depth on a certain topic (shocking, I know, since you are the resident expert on every topic imaginable) that his tin foil hat may not be necessary due to his misunderstanding of what smart meters actually do.

The technology is already here. Just because your smart meter has certain limitations, that doesn't mean what I am saying can't be done or isn't practical.

Smart Circuit Breakers: The Next Frontier of the Grid Edge?

That’s the idea behind the field trial of Eaton’s energy management circuit breaker (EMCB). Last year, the electrical equipment giant started deploying its smart circuit breakers at about 500 homes with 12 U.S. utilities, including Duke Energy, Southern Company, CenterPoint, ComEd and Pepco. Over the next year, it will be working with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to see if they’re capable of collecting and sharing data accurately, receiving and sending controls to other smart equipment like thermostats or water heaters, and even shifting homes on and off of grid power during emergencies.

Obsolete 1950s Computer Code is causing Unemployment chaos amid huge lines: Appeal for retired Programmers who know obscure COBOL language to fix Outdated Computer System in states across US


States have appealed for help reprogramming their outdated computer systems that are used to process surging unemployment applications as a record 16.8 million Americans claim benefits amid the coronavirus lockdown.

A record 6.6 million new claims for unemployment benefits were filed last week, according to the latest Labor Department figures released on Thursday. It comes on top of than 10 million applications filed in the last two weeks of March.

Many local government computer programs use an obsolete code from the 1950s at a time when the social security process has been thrown into chaos with rising numbers of workers forced out of work due to coronavirus.

Officials in New Jersey, Kansas, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Mississippi and Oklahoma have all admitted struggling to proceeds growing applications.
Governors have put out pleas for retired programmers to help code the decades-old computer programming language called COBOL because many of the state's systems still run on old mainframes.

Hundreds of desperate Floridians were filmed lining up and risking exposure to coronavirus to get paper for applications.

More than half of states still rely on 40-year-old mainframe systems that run on outdated software.

1950’s?? COBOL was still utilized as a viable language in the late 80’s and taught in colleges. Anyone with a ComSci degree from those years should be able to program in it.

I guess it was the WHO or CDC who told Trump it was that "one person from china", and that "it's under control".

The best defense, I think I've heard, anyway, was something about "satire".
