The female CEO of woke telecomms corporation Optus for hours gave Australia the silent treatment when the company she controls crippled the country's telecommunications (including many govt services) for 16 hours. The country's female Communications Minister wants to hold her to account, and the female telecommunications industry ombudsman wants to force Optus to pay compensation claims, which even if it somehow happened, would end up being paid by Australians through higher prices and taxes.

What none of them can do is run things in such a way that third world shit like this doesn't happen.

There was a major 12-hour long outage in across Canada last year, affecting all customers of our biggest internet provider. Similar things have happened in a couple of European countries as well.

Makes you wonder if somebody is testing something.

They're testing how much diversity it takes to cripple infrastructure.

Sounds like they need to hire and promote white or Asian guys again!

You get the feeling they've all got something sinister planned for January 2024? Every time I notice some corporation making declarations about some major overhaul in their business it's set to start in January 2024. Shit just kept popping up over the year, I never thought to start making a list of it all.

It also brought down all the POS terminals at retail, yet no one learned the lesson about the vulnerabilities of a cashless society.

Everyone laughed in that episode of Futurama where the robots rebelled and the humans had to relearn fire and the wheel. It's not so funny now.

South park's B-plot in the last episode touched on this topic as well. The regular maintenance guys were all rich as fuck since everyone else didn't understand how to do simple repairs of their own property.

I predict I'll be retyping this comment a lot in the future.

It won't be the nukes or WW3 that will kill us all, it will be the incompetence of diversity hires.

Yes. This is the uncomfortable truth people don't want to acknowledge. The slow decay when your planes start crashing and roads are built in dangerous ways, but especially as they start trying to control the food supply because "they know better".

Invest in food trees and property. Study what happened with Mao, we are in the cultural revolution phase which puts the famine about 15-20 ish years away if things don't change

The tech illiteracy was surprising to me also. The zoomers can't even fathom that the "magic box" computer would lie to them.

I have heard that spearfishing is more successful against young adults now than old farts that you would suspect.

Clown world.

especially as they start trying to control the food supply

Already happening. Most of the Western food supplies come from/through a handful of companies, and those companies are all-in on DIE/LGBTPQAIO/leftism, and fully complied with the coof protocols. Add to that the years-long suspicious trend of fires at independent food producers in the U.S., and it's looking really like a very hostile takeover.

Honestly, accidentally taking down Social Media might be the best thing for most western countries at this point.
