Who will pay for the NECEC corridor?

When voting on the proposed NECEC corridor project, we need to ask simple questions: 

1. How does CMP stand to profit from this project? 
1. What if the profits don't go to Central Maine Power, but to its parent companies? 
2. Suppose all the earnings go upwards, never to come back down: 
1. How will CMP continue to maintain the NECEC corridor? 
1. The burden of maintaining the NECEC corridor won't be absorbed by CMP—nor its parent corporations. 
1. It will be transferred directly to the people of Maine, be it increasing the delivery fee, or raising the kilowatt hourly rates. 
2. And what if there is a natural disaster, such as ice storms or wind storms, that damage the towers and high-tension lines; who will then pay for the repairs? 
1. Again, the people of Maine. 
3. We don't need this unwanted burden imposed on us with no hope of benefit. 
1. Vote to ban the NECEC corridor.

All else is window-dressing

Texas slut-shaming anti-choice law is a "castle defense" for the male penis; so people equipped with a phallus can kill people equipped with a uterus, and all else is window-dressing. 

The Copier Machine of the Past

 Why does living in the past always seem to involve guns firing, uniforms sparkling, foxholes manned, tanks rumbling past, military jets screaming overhead, huge factories churning, gigantic dams rushing water, limousine cars pulling up, and vast steam railroads chugging-chugging-chugging? All of this built/made by white people, with not a single non-white in sight, except to passively enjoy the benefits of being with white people?

The history of our past—everyone's past—is always rewritten. So the justifications for this historical revisionism are also in a constant state of rewrite to shore up and prop up the vast overarching conspiracy, the mythology, the Adam Smith collection of fairy tales, that all of our nation's greatness, our social progress, our cultural wealth was made by lily-white hands—only these hands, mouths, feet and brains belonging to white males with wives and children. Children raised to carry on this delusion, maintain and violently defend the lie. For without this lie, this everchanging, always adapting falsehood, they are nothing.
