I wonder how Jeremiah felt when the footage of Jerome at the GCPD was broadcasted on TV (during season 2). That was probably the first time he’s ever seen his brother in a while since the circus. also! What was going through Jeremiah’s head when he heard of Jerome’s death at the children’s gala later on? There’s so much to explore with these two

this guy talks insanely fast but this is solid info on electrical outrages in the US.
privatization is cringe level 100
here’s a transcription of what this guy says in this video, because he talks extremely fast — i’m also including sources wherever possible, in case anybody wants to do some further reading or wants proof
If you’re looking at Texas right now and thinking, “It seems pretty bad that a state’s electrical grid can fail overnight from a snowstorm,” I have news for you. It’s so much worse than you could ever imagine. Don’t be a heartless idiot and blame ‘red state voters;’ it’s red states, blue states, purple states, green states, everywhere is in crisis.
In 2017, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave our energy grid a D+, because almost all of it was built in the 1950s and 60s with a 50-year life expectancy, and we’re 10 to 20 years past that. Across the country, 640,000 miles of high voltage lines run at full capacity at almost all times, which is way more than the grid was designed to handle, and Texas in particular has one of the worst ratios between planned and real capacity.
It’s so bad that the US Government has said that if just nine of America’s 55,000 electrical substations are brought down, it could cause a coast-to-coast blackout lasting 18 months or more. And testimony from the executive director of Task Force on National and Homeland Security has said that a prolonged collapse of the electrical grid could result in the death of up to 90% of the American population. [screenshot in the video has highlighted text from this source, saying: “a prolonged collapse of this nation’s electrical grid—through starvation, disease, and societal collapse—could result in the death of up to 90% of the American population.”]
Today, the US has more power outages than any other developed country. And that’s because 68% of the electricity in the US is managed by investor-owned privatized utility companies [the source I found said it’s actually 72%], and updating their systems cuts into their profits, so they don’t do anything until something fails. And when things do fail, and, for example, start massive wildfires in California, guess who pays for it? Mostly taxpayers.
There’s no good news, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, because all of America’s infrastructure is failing, so I’m gonna keep doing videos about it.
thank you !! I was hoping someone would do a transcript
Short comic I made about my experience getting a late diagnosis for ADHD, I’m gonna try posting one of these once a week !

hello! that post you made about dyscalculia is something i can't really put into words. i've struggled with that my whole life (pretty sure it was a result of me being born premature) but nobody ever got me a proper diagnosis for it. it was such a terrible, dark time in my life growing up, and a lot of adults had put it into my head that i was stupid. it took a long time for me to grow out of that and realize that i was going to be okay in the end. i don't know what else to say except thank you!
This is exactly why I want to make these posts.
I struggled as well growing up with feeling stupid, even though my brain is just different. When I discovered that what I experience can be labeled, named and understood, it was so life changing for me. Math class was so stressful for me. I used to cry during tests and after a certain point, I would become physically ill if I knew a math test was coming up. I LOVED school and it was so damaging to my psyche to struggle as much as I did with math.
I don’t want any child (or adult) to have to go through that experience and I really hope some day that these types of learning disorders become common knowledge and that we can remove that negative stigma and get people the support they need to succeed.
