I have some unfortunate news for you.
There's a lot of scary shit online.
I find this amusing, because of what his best friend said about him wearing his heart on his sleeve :
Some mail you ballots automatically. Some require you to request a mail in ballot by a certain date. Others will only allow you to vote by mail if you are a senior citizen, have a critical illness or disability, etc. It's a mixed bag, and it's intentionally difficult in some states.
Just about every place in the US, with some minor exceptions, has extreme heat (120F+) extreme cold (-10F), high winds, tropical storms, ice storms, blizzards, tornados, or even earthquakes regularly that take down poles and lines, damage substations, etc.
25% of all eligible voters work jobs like service, retail, or construction where it is very hard if not impossible to get time off work to vote.
Although many states even have laws allowing people to have time off to vote, it's often 2 hours or less, which in many localities is not nearly enough to get through the line.
There are no real blanket voting protections across the country.
I've lost power for weeks from snow, wind, storms, and ice, living in the central midwest and mid south. We lose power almost every time it rains in the spring and summer for many hours.
Would take longer than 20yr at current power rates in many US locales.
There used to be a fairly robust rest stop program here, but it's been basically replaced by exits with large gas station chains and fast food.
US and Norway seem to have roughly the same number of government rest stops per mile, not including the more common "commercial exit" I guess you could call it.
31.6% of all eligible voters.
36% of eligible voters didn't even vote in 2024.

Half of all enterprises, 50%, have already repatriated workloads from public cloud to private environments, up from 35% in 2025. The breadth of what they are bringing back, and the reasons behind it, have both increased considerably.
Workloads with high security or compliance requirements remain the top category at 51%, unchanged year over year. But the categories moving up fastest tell a broader story. Business-critical workloads surged from 36% to 47%, an 11-point jump. AI or generative AI workloads, which were barely on the repatriation radar in 2025, are now being repatriated or considered by 43% of enterprises.

Noted that GEICO cut $600mil in cloud spend.
The real sensitive customers are on oxide.
But it you actually NEED security, it's clearly not an option.

> I mean, every law will inevitably impact different groups at least a little differently. I'm not a fan of obsessing about race every time a law is written, no.
If it affected you directly, you might care.
Because it doesn't, you are in the position to pick and choose what you give your interest and energy to.
No, they won't :) This is the world now.
