That’s it. Piss off every teenage hacker in the world and you’ll live to regret it.

Good that Rand is looking at these laws, as they were NEVER INTENDED for this country allowing tribal voting*. Neither was the Constitution written for such.

*meaning people who put ‘group identity’ ahead of individual identity.

Election coming up, so you know this will happen if the return of Covid fails and the RINO party will waste 10 months wondering what to do about it.

You think Americans were pissed with the National Cell Phone Alert...
You are going to see a new level of anger at the Gov if Biden is ever dumb enough to switch off the Internet.

you know the courts have said you don’t throw out the Constitution during emergencies

"COVID" says "Hold my beer."

If you shut down the internet, you shut down the economy.

Vast amounts of critical business communications run over the internet.

I have to admit that the few times I haven’t been able to access the Internet for no apparent reason, I’ve wondered. I have no doubt “they” will resort to that at some point in time if it will help them.

That makes perfect sense. In an emergency cut off people’s access to informant to their friends and relatives.

Many devices at home will stop working. Medical home devices will stop transmitting to your doctors. I wonder if EV chargers will work?

GPS will die, so evacuations will be a mess. Who has maps these days?

I wonder if gas pumps will work.

I wouldn’t be surprised for this to happen if he is incapacitated due to his failing health.

Then his entourage could continue the destruction of America with no oversight or knowledge of what is happening.

I worked for a company where the union came onto the property and status quo was instituted - everything was supposed to come to a freeze and nothing could be added or taken away so far as work rules or conditions. All of a sudden, all of these documents came out of nowhere from the company. They claimed they had already released - documents that were dated a year and six months earlier that were NEVER given to us. These documents/emails changed much of what we had - they were lies and took away much from us and gave greatly to the company but no one could contest it.

I look for this underhandedness from Joe Biden and Co.

You think Biden and company care about that?

(Although they might regret it later)

Vast amounts of critical business communications run over the internet including state and federal government agencies.

I guess they have figured out a way to exempt themselves.

Checks are no longer flown around the country for processing in the Fed Reserves own Lear Jet Airline. The checks are scanned, digitized, and processed electronically, using the internet. Nobody gets paid for anything if the internet goes down.
