I'm afraid we've put all our
eggs in one basket, and the
basket has frayed spots.
Everything in the whole blankety
blanking country relies on a
working, functioning computer
grid, and if it fizzles just a wee
bit everything grinds to a halt.
The city infrastructure here was
nearly shut down not long ago
because of ransomware, and
as far as I know, they didn't fix
it and probably paid off and didn't
say publicly. The public library was
all but closed, and many billing
and records offices were pretty
much in the twilight zone.
These pinhead criminals have figured
how to hack into these computerized
security systems and the houses
that have everything covered with
cameras, and they break in and
loot and other crimes and such.
