Based on my many years of dabbling with electronic circuits, there IS a right way and wrong way to approach fixing a circuit problem. The last thing you want to do is turn on the soldering iron and indiscriminately start ripping parts out of a circuit without first having done some analysis and narrowing down the possible culprits. But to do this you have to develop skills and have a knowledge base. Information is the key to success!
Triton II ALC Problem
Take time to watch this video and see how this inoperative old Ten Tec Transceiver was brought back to life using a disciplined process approach. Bottom line the problem was a blown incandescent lightbulb costing less than $1. But an underlying problem was a poor choice of a circuit element used in this critical part of the overall circuitry. Subsequent Ten Tec builds of this very same circuit replaced the lightbulb with a LED that had a far greater MTBF than the lightbulb.
I draw a parallel to the current government regime and the growing dissatisfaction with the economy, inflation, grocery prices and of course tariffs. The disciplined process approach is once again the key to fixing the problem.
Many Americans eagerly await the daily breaking news about gaffs, midnight rants on social media, lapses of focus and of course frequent dozing at meetings. Erroneously this in the open (non-fake news) fact viewing is not the critical path to problem resolution.
The right solution is to focus in on the crux of the problem. Old what is his name is not going away and so the focus has to be redirecting the view by his base that supports him. Without a base no one can be successful.
Many in this base have been negatively affected by the actions taken this year. They are ripe for conversion in 2026. The litany of excuses for the current state can be overcome by a mountain of truth which leads to the ultimate acceptance by the base. At this point only the Owning Class are smiling at their wealth increase.
The Owning Class CEO guys however are tuned into when a ship is sinking. They already know the downside potential of the future state, and they are making their contingency plans. Chase Bank took a bold step this past Monday. Read between the lines and you can see it is an action plan for when it all goes to hell.
The names of those working on the Chase effort is a list of distinguished problem solvers and note it is outside the government. It must be embarrassing for old what is his name to see this effort emerge. Incidentally I don't believe Chase Bank contributed to the totally unnecessary $250M Ball Room makeover.
This is a sure sign of the Canary in the coal mine. It is hard to think about the future good of the USA when your center of attention has a limited scope like blowing up fishing boats, rounding up aliens and/or revenge politics. Does anyone really believe our economy is A+++++++++? Just check your grocery bill.
One 2026 target demographic for the honest media is to constantly pulse the rural areas of the red states and simply ask "how is it going?" This is a powerful tool to change the base mindset and change the paradigm. In case you missed it... three weeks from yesterday is 2026!
Them that know can make things go.
