Is this the Power Alert Thread or a place where middle class keyboardists argue about how you can change SA.?

In a Democracy there is the opportunity to affect change - at the polls.
There's a vote coming up on 29 May, that's your opportunity.

Alternatively, volunteer to assist the political party you most identify with.

Or do what Guy Fawlkes tried and kill these useless fokkers.

Now, back to how the grid is doing

You're quite right. Apologies folks, enough humour from Lexi now, back on topic.
 
The last time the American middle class was powerful and prospers the top tax rate was near 90%
Close to 40% of the work force was unionised
the average CEO of a top company in the US earned only 23x that of a typical worker. Not 350x

Which judging by your posts are ideas you would highly object to.

That precedent is what enabled a middle-class to emerge.

If you want to know how strong the addiction to other people making decisions for some is.... as soon as you show your intention to unpack cause-and-effect relationships, you're already 'off-topic'.

See how that works?

Because they insist that - whatever the solution is - uncovering it cannot possibly involve them resorting to argumentation (https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...argument-and-should-i-be-having-them.1275328/).

And you wonder why you are still getting screwed over, after 30 years, and laughed at by the likes of this person, interviewed by the likes of you...

 
If you don't want to confront your role in a perpetual problem.... all you do is label the person doing some digging, 'off-topic'.

The reason this thread exists at all, Manny, is because of the problem of shortages, that is baked into the cake with State-intervention in the economy.

Which requires active support from individuals. I include turning a blind eye to one's own role in continued economic intervention/central-planning, in 'active support,' if, when someone draws your attention to a discussion on potential causes, they get a barrage of la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

The State specializes in shortages. It always has.

If you put the government in charge of the Sahara desert, there'd be a shortage of sand in 5 years.

Show me an economy where a shortage of power is not going to lead to economic stagnation and eventual collapse.

It's not legitimately yours though. It's required by law to be paid over to SARS. That money is owed. Whether you personally choose to acknowledge that or not is irrelevant. It remains so.

I'm under no illusion here that failure to pay those funds over is against the law. That's the revolt part of the tax revolt. The thing is it's not you that's revolting, it's your employer. They're the ones obligated to deduct that money and pay it over, not you.

You cannot demand that your employer violate the law and ever expect that demand to be respected. Sorry mate.

You're joking though right? This impotent idea isn't the example you're attempting to provide right?

All legal code derives its legitimacy by virtue of existing downstream of a people's moral code.

So when you throw the legal code at me, saying it is the final arbiter, you ignore the fact it could not come into existence other than:

a) it being imposed upon you, without your consent, or

b) as a grass-roots phenomenon i.e. a people expressing their core values together and demanding the rule-set be an accurate reflection of that homogeneous moral-code.

The legal code is supposed to protect your moral code, not enable your mortal enemies to water it down.

No legal code can serve 2 masters.
 
and of course there is another drop, sigh, not sure why these numpties cannot get anything right.

Must be, massive 1.7GW drop sigh, was supposed to have recovered 2.2GW, but every time they say we're going to recover something, it always goes the other way.

Yep, just in time for the weekend when my area would have a couple of days off from loadshedding, stage 4 notifications probably in the early hours of Thursday.

Lots of action coming from Gwede's department, apparently.

Bid Window 8 the last under IRP 2019, nuclear ambitions not a pipe dream – Mantashe

Bid Window 8 of government’s Renewable Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme will be the last bid window under IRP 2019, says Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe. “We’ll then have issued all the bid windows provided for under IRP 2019.”

Mantashe also reiterated that government’s goal to develop 2 500 MW of nuclear power was “not a dream”.

“There will be nuclear in our country in addition to Koeberg. There is already an agreement. Procurement capacity is being worked on and we are investing in that capacity.”

Mantashe emphasised that no party had yet been earmarked to develop government’s nuclear ambitions and that the process would be open to all investors.

He added that government wanted to develop its nuclear capabilities to include nuclear fuel.
-------------------------------
“In our view we should be allowed to develop fuel. We are not going to get into military applications, but we are going to use it for energy.”

Mantashe also noted that government’s ambition of forming a national petroleum company will no longer be “an aspiration” by this time next year – “it will be action”.
