    Not all things sadly...

    Wisconsin senate supermajority win gives Republicans impeachment power Wisconsin | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/05/wisconsin-senate-supermajority-impeachment-power

    >Wisconsin Republicans won a supermajority in the state senate on Tuesday, giving them the necessary votes to impeach statewide officials, including the state’s Democratic governor and potentially state supreme court justices.
    >
    >Wisconsin Republicans now control 22 of the senate’s 33 seats after Dan Knodl, a Republican, narrowly defeated Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin in a special election to represent a district that includes Milwaukee’s northern suburbs. Republicans also control 64 of the state assembly’s 99 districts. The Wisconsin constitution authorizes the state assembly to impeach “all civil officers of this state for corrupt conduct in office, or for crimes and misdemeanor” by a majority vote. A two-thirds majority is required in the senate for a conviction.

    OK.... maybe an actual number of users related to power usage would be helpful.

    I would almost be willing to bet there are more than 1000X users of the traditional banking system, probably more like 10kX-100kX or more users and on a per user basis the power usage is not that shocking.

    Like anything that is related to the number of user, be it a SocNet instance, the power demands grow with the user count.

    To me this is like comparing the power usage of FB/twitter/other big SocNet to the Fediverse.

    This is the reason that for many years (decades?) I have always added a D drive partition for all the file storage and remapped the documents/pictures/videos/etc to the D drive, even on a new, preloaded computer I would shrink the C drive and add a D drive partition for the files. It saved my backside many times both personally and professionally unless the entire drive goes boots up.

    As long as the partition is readable it can usually be accesses with a Linux live/rescue disk to make a last minute backup.

    Wall Street — not taxpayers — will pay for the SVB and Signature deposit relief plans
    https://nu.federati.net/url/289892

    >Key Points
    >
    > The money to fully reimburse depositors of the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank and the shuttered Signature Bank will be furnished by other banks, not taxpayers, Treasury officials said.
    > The Deposit Insurance Fund, which will cover the deposits, is funded with quarterly fees assessed on financial institutions and interest on government bonds.
    > Using the DIF to shore up depositors is seen by the Biden administration as a way to avoid reigniting the public anger sparked by the 2008 taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailouts.
