“Its to shut down electronic security in Trump Tower for nefarious reasons.”

I’m pretty sure the building has a back up power supply for any security system installed, as well as back up generators to power other parts of the building.

NEW YORK CITY (AP) — A power outage cast darkness across dozens of blocks in New York City early Friday, as many people in the city were still without electricity in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias.

Con Edison said in a tweet that it was aware of a “brief service interruption,” later adding that a problem with its transmission system “caused three networks in Manhattan to lose their electric supply,” just after 5 a.m. The supply had been restored, according to the statement posted just after 6:30 a.m.

Crews have been working around the clock to restore power across the city due to the tropical storm that battered the East Coast earlier this week, Con Edison also said.

Live video showed few lights across Manhattan, including parts of the Upper East Side, Upper West Side and Harlem, WABC-TV reported. Some customers said their power was back by 6 a.m.

The power outage was expected to cause “mass transit disruptions on A, B, C, D, 1, 2 & 3 train service in Manhattan,” the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said in a statement. Passengers were asked to consider alternate routes and plan for delays.

UPS can also be used to recharged phones etc during blackouts/hurricanes. They are of immense value and don’t cost much.

I think it’s hilarious that he was so stupid as to admit that they are all leaving because they don’t want to pay the high taxes.

Somebody should check on G.Maxwell.

Epstein didn't kill himself just before the last blackout.
