Well, that's just wrong. I'm in possibly the most affect area. An area that wen 72% for Trump.

Whitmer is hell bent on destroying the Michigan economy.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone...Rat Party Headquarters dreams of $9 a gallon gas.
When hurricane Michael hit, I was without power for three weeks. I had purchased a generator and had 20 gallons of non-alcohol gas with preservative on hand. I didn’t lose any food and I was comfortable while running a window unit air conditioner. My neighbors all had to evacuate.
Now, had there been no power, I’d also have been all right as I have stored food and water. I’m not a prepper, but I always thought having several weeks of consumables was just common sense.
Since then I’ve upgraded on all counts; more fuel, more food, more water. I’m not ready for the collapse of civilization, but I am ready for the collapse of local power and supply.
As we become more technological or society becomes more fragile. We live in amazing comfort, until we don’t. Kill the power in New York, and it becomes unlivable. Kill the power locally where I live and most of the people could make it for a week. But, what then?
The fishing industry isn’t going to make it and lake homes will co tinue to post For Sale signs.
“The Straits of Mackinac is a busy shipping channel, with the dual pipelines lying perpendicular to passing ships. In April 2018, a commercial vessel inadvertently dropped and dragged a massive anchor across the pipelines while passing through the Straits. An ‘underwater pipeline inspection video shows deep scoring along the lake bottom, then up and over the twin pipelines,’ the Detroit Free Press later reported. ‘Deep marks are etched in both pipelines, and there is evidence of outer protective coating loss.’
She says something similar happened again.
The simplest thing to do is for Michigan to:
1. outlaw the dropping of any anchor in an area defined by law
2. require any ship with an anchor weighing more than X pounds to have two people verify that the anchor is secure before entering the area.
There is a plan to build a pipeline tunnel, which should be approved by Congress and signed into law by Biden ASAP.
The State of Michigan could station anchor inspection vessels on both sides of the pipeline.
It is unacceptable to needlessly deprive Ontario of vital oil supplies.
Line 5 supplies NatGasLiquids (NGL) essential in making Jet-A fuel for the region.
While the East coast had gasoline supply problems interrupting travel and commerce, imagine Detroit and Chicago limiting \ALL\ flights out to preserve jet fuel.
Planes could land but not fly out.
UPS and FedEx planes grounded as non-essential.
Or, regular flights deemed non-essential.
They have done those two things indicated. And Enbridge has already supposed to have started on the tunnel and was supposed to have been done by 2024.
“or she would seize the company’s profits because the company was guilty of “trespassing” and “unjust enrichment.”
Enbridge has told that c**t to go Eff herself.
They are a Canadian company and she has just about as much clout to stop that as she has to stop the next World War.
BTW, that pipeline supplies 95% of the gas for home use in the UP of Michigan.
“but I am ready for the collapse of local power and supply.”
I believe that you are gonna be alright if it comes to that.
BTW, they failed to mention that the incident broke two power cables that cross there, resulting in a wide spread power outage across the area.
What they gonna do> Shut down those power cables also?
We used to call these believers "Zealots".
Now we know them just as mentally ill, and deranged.

repeatedly, and expecting a different result".
I remember reading that. I wonder how much of my concern for the fragility of our civilization was created by the “duck and cover” training I got in third and forth grade. My parents stockpiled bleach bottles full of water. We always had canned goods. Also, when hurricanes suddenly blew up, my parents never ran off to the store for those last minute items. We had them in abundance.
But it always made sense to me to have whatever you need in sufficient supply that you never HAD to leave the house. Can’t tell you how many times I was too sick to do anything beyond struggle to the kitchen and back to bed. I never once had to call a friend for supplies. Whereas I have always been on call for my friends. (Frankly, I always give, but I’d have to be nearly dead to ask anyone for help. On two occasions, I had friends call me on a schedule with instructions that if I didn’t answer to call paramedics. Once, a friend did stay with me after surgery until I was ambulatory. That was nice. *Also, he kept my medically stoned ass off eBay or I’d have owned an awesome set of antique cars.*)
Call the Michigan militia, they know what to do with her.....ooooops!
That right, they have all been roumded up and charged with bogus crimes by the lefty DOJ.
Well, we know what happens next.
