@paulb3017 @kim_harding you may be right, and/or also many people think life is already complicated.
Does zonal pricing imply that the further we are from a wind or solar farm, combustion or fission generator etc, the more we should receive for solar power we export from our roof to the local distribution network?

How to Lock Down Your #Phone When Crossing the #US #Border
Here's what you need to know to secure your data.
U.S. #Customs and Border Patrol (#CBP) has long been able to conduct electronic device searches without #warrants at the U.S. border, though the rules governing these searches have evolved over time. Prior to 2018, CBP guidance allowed agents to search any device at random, even if they didn't suspect the traveler of any wrongdoing.

"An email sent to thousands of people yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security escalates the abuse. The automated note refers to the 'termination of parole' and seeks to frighten its recipients by warning that if they don’t leave the U.S. 'immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal.'”

"If you believe Trump will simply stop at pro-Palestinian students, immigrants, and dissidents, then you need to go to the library - while we still have them - and check out books on Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, and fascism in Europe."

@GottaLaff 800-1000 million dollars of cattle come from Mexico to the US every year. They are in Mexico because US cattlemen make $$ selling them to Mexican producers to begin with. Once in the US, the cattle are fed midwest corn worth many more millions. Is That Asshole Guy going to impinge on that?
