Spread the word…
The GOP is trying to ram through another redistricting power grab, but there’s a secret weapon: a referendum —to block it.
All it takes is 106,000 signatures across 6 districts. Let’s make sure Missouri voters, not politicians, decide.

Southern California was especially prone to outages because the vast distances between radars and towers there create greater vulnerabilities
“In one instance workers tried to remedy a failing line at Hollywood Burbank Airport by manually disconnecting the network – akin to yanking an LAN cable from the back of a domestic router.
'The duration of the communication line failure lasted six days,'
The problem, the panel explains, is that STARS was engineered by defense giant Raytheon in the 1990s to generate a continual signal compatible with analog wiring.
It was never designed for modern ethernet connections which stream data in tiny digital fragments or 'packets'.
The tech automates massive volumes of radar, weather and real-time aviation data for regional cntl centers, TRACON sites,which guide planes to and from airports.
It's also fed via telecom cables to remote airport towers which lack their own direct access to radars.
Telecoms outages are the beginning of system failures
From the Daily Mail
While some towers are able to recover automatically, some have to be reconfigured online manually,' The underlying problem, …involves a key FAA processing platform named STARS (Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System)
Air traffic control systems have aged beyond auto control limits.Human intervention is increasingly necessary.As the systems breakdown and staff aren’t available to correct loss of life will result.
