If lights in the sky are more important than common sense, we have already lost.

If lights in the sky are more important than common sense, we have already lost.

So let me get this straight. We run around in a panic for months about everything from gas prices to bird flu, but when the government tells us a massive GEOMAGNETIC STORM is heading straight for our power grids and GPS systems, the first thing I see on my feed are pictures of people laying on their backs in a field watching pretty lights? Last night my neighbor had his entire front yard lit up with camera gear, and his daughter is out in it without a coat while we all just got an alert that satellites could fry. The Northern Lights are nice, sure, but where is the actual common sense? Did anyone check their emergency kit? Did anyone think about what happens when a GEOMAGNETIC STORM starts messing with the transformers? My buddy down south lost his fridge for three days after a squirrel sneezed on a transformer. Imagine a geomagnetic event. But no, it’s all for the ‘gram until the power is out and we remember we live in the real world, not on TikTok.
