TODD: Let me give you the battle of two headlines here. This is in regards to the pipeline being shut down, the hack of this. This is New York Times: “Colonial Pipeline, a vital U.S. fuel artery that was shut down by a cyberattack, said it hoped to restore most operations by the end of the week. Since the shutdown, there have been no long lines for gas” and such.<\/p>\n

Then you can go to the Twitter (laughing) and find video of people stuck in long lines for gas and showing gas stations saying, “We\u2019re out of gas.” Then you can go to The Daily Caller on Twitter who has informed us that the governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, has signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency in North Carolina on Monday. Why?<\/p>\n

\"\"Because of the gas shortage! Hmm. I think Monday was yesterday, as I recall. If there is an emergency for gas, this would mean of course that it is absolutely time to get a mask. Do you have the woke mask? Do you have them nearby? I mean, wouldn\u2019t it be the case now that you should put those over your gas tank, in the opening therein so you don\u2019t put gas in there — or maybe don\u2019t do this, \u2019cause someone will do it.<\/p>\n

Put it on the exhaust pipes. There has to be some emergency order thing or maybe the car stays home. I guess that\u2019s factual. Something to reflect upon here. The hack is a high-tech endeavor, clearly, to hack it. That should give us all pause that so many things have been hacked.<\/p>\n

Adobe, eBay, Equifax, LinkedIn, the Office of Personnel Management at the White House, as Michael D. Brown\u2019s former undersecretary of Homeland Security points out. But U.S. elections? No way! No way. That could never happen. What? Here\u2019s another thing to think about. Is there value in the old ways? Legitimately.<\/p>\n

You know, New York during an electrical outage is a different thing than Idaho during an electrical outage. Clearly not many people in downtown Manhattan are gonna have firewood (laughing), and if you do, there\u2019s no place to burn it that\u2019s safe. Those events in other parts of the country have different outcomes. It\u2019s inconvenient to us and we can go out and put wood on the fire.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s inconvenient for us and there are such things as natural gas generators for even things like A\/C if you need that. It\u2019s inconvenient for us and there\u2019s food sources in our gardens. There\u2019s food sources in the woods and in the lakes. I get it. Not everybody can live that way. Is there value in the old ways?<\/p>\n

You know, I had a friend of mine who was an auto mechanic and owned a series of automotive garages or automotive facilities, and he used to give away these bumper strips after people got their cars worked on. He had a roadside service. So if your car broke down on the side of the road and he came and fixed it, you\u2019d get this funny bumper strip that says, “Everybody Hates a Redneck ‘Til Their Car Breaks Down.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Well, there\u2019s value in the old ways to do these things. I read years ago… I\u2019m sure that they have corrected this now. But it occurred to naval commanders that a good portion of the people in the world\u2019s best navy, the United States Navy, couldn\u2019t steer the ships accurately without GPS. So they undertook to teach the young naval officers how to use a compass and paper and the stars and the old ways.<\/p>\n

The old ways were made for us as guides for us. So while the hacking of this thing is high-tech — and, look, I just as well as anybody can marvel at high-tech (I used to work in it) — low tech has value. It really does. I got so frustrated with sometimes in Seattle we\u2019d be out to fancy dinners and conversations would turn to, “I sure wish we could get rid of the fishing boats and processing facilities in northern Ballard.<\/p>\n

“Those could be beautiful parks and riding trails,” and then the waiter would come along with their Pacific salmon. “Sir, your Pacific salmon.” “Thanks very much. Just looks great. Thank you.” And I\u2019d say, “Where\u2019d that come from?” “Well, the restaurant.” “No. No, it came from the jobs you just mentally stole, those fishing jobs and people who risk their life to bring me that fish. That\u2019s where that came from.”<\/p>\n
