Exactly.

My 13-y-o MacBook is exciting again.

And once again performing like the day I first unboxed it.

Because Linux/GNU.

Collapse is a strong word, agree.

On the other hand we have an overworked controller sending ground traffic across an active runway with jet traffic on short final and a fire crew who apparently aren't primed to look out to the side before crossing an active runway -- all at a major international airport, not some little municipal field.

Not the first incident of this sort since the current administration took a hatchet to federal services and likely again w/out change.

All well and good until citizens in places like the UK, Canada, America, et. al., start demanding clean drinking water for all from their taps...

@Remittancegirl

Unless you're Canadian.

Or English or Australian, or name your collaborating 'allied' nation tied to US tech, the US dollar, and a US-style economy based on lies and boundless energy and material waste.

Then you roll over and show your belly.

@wdlindsy

Has the look of Trump aiming to spread the blame.

Otherwise, he'd be taking sole credit for such genius, telling the world 'everyone said it couldn't be done.'

These people vote.
