    The lack of failsafes for critical infrastructure in this shithole is truly astounding. I really hope that Carrington Event 2.0 doesn’t occur in any of our lifetimes, but if it does, we as a society will pay dearly for the hubris of our overlords

      I realise why the US elected Joe Biden now - in a representative democracy, who better to represent the frail, decrepit, moribund state of American infrastructure better than Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.?

      Super cool to regularly wonder “is this a cyber attack which would be the logical start to some major shit kicking off or is our vital infrastructure just down for no reason again”
