Power outage in NYC - Where is John Galt?
Where is John Galt? He has come to my house twice in the last five years as an Able Air repairman in Melbourne, Florida to repair my A/C. This is no joke. When I saw the name on his uniform as "John", I asked him if he had heard the story of John Galt. Then he told me that he is John Galt. The last time I saw him was last October.
Please buy Generac generators!
I grew up in Beaumont and Houston, so I know a lot about the Texas Gulf Coast.
I remember once there was a big power blackout in the 60's. I think it was in New York. I later read a pamphlet by Ayn Rand, entitled "Is
Atlas Shrugging?" and she made reference to the power blackout. She said it was "not exactly parallel to the one in my story,,," (that's a memory quote), but that people had written to her about it.
Wish I could say the transformer blew in NYC as a result of a coronal hole stream but it was not the case this time...so we are left with the "Venezuela syndrome" as a possible explanation.
This John Galt was not the "John Galt". If he had been a John Galt worthy of AS, then I would have definitely noticed, but the irony of having a John Galt as an A/C repairman was rich.
Did you try to find out more about him?
An honest man.
Yes, it is a depressing characterization of the deep state that we have the "opportunity" to experience live now.
