#1 Meh... go ahead. Shut it down.

Maybe the idiot leaders in DC will have to get their own drinks and food and make their own appointments without the ~~slaves~~ plebs.

#2 Using too much of the magic Blue Smoke? If you let all the Blue Smoke out of the wires it won't work any more. That's what happened to my refridgedeezer.

#7 Phase one will be to install some of them smart rheostats Barry was peddling, shut down all HVAC systems from 7:00 to 18:00.
