Idiot Extraordinaire: Lisa Kramer https://globalnews.ca/news/5034056/quadriga-cryptocurrency-regulation/
This Week's Quote: "It is rather strange that unless one has a criminal mind and no respect for other people and their property, no one claims it?s permissible to go into one?s neighbor?s house and tell them how to behave, what they can eat, smoke, and drink, or how to spend their money. Yet, rarely is it asked why it is morally acceptable that a stranger with a badge and a gun can do the same thing in the name of law and order." ?Ron Paul

For those too young to remember or who were elsewhere at the time, there was a huge blackout covering a large portion of eastern North America in the summer of 2003. Power was partially restored (as in, patchy rolling blackouts, so people could have their fringes, freezers, and water pumps do some catching up) within a day or so, and everything was sorted out in less than a week.
It's also worth pointing out that many of the people who were killed by the Chernobyl incident (I'm not calling it an accident, because it was the foreseeable result of intentional actions, which is not an accident by definition) were people who did stupid things, like try to hand-drop boron into the exposed reactor core from helicopters without any meaningful radiation protection.
