Are the Dems looking to replace Biden because he is polling so bad stealing the election will be obvious?

Microsoft and CrowdStrike Outage Explained: Airport Chaos, 911 Lines Down and More

Microsoft suffered a massive, ongoing global IT outage on Friday morning, affecting airports, airlines, banks, hospitals and broadcasters around the world. The outage hit thousands of Windows PCs, which many companies and organizations rely on as part of their critical internet infrastructure. Perhaps most concerning of all, several states across the US reported that their emergency 911 call centers have been hit.

The networks at work are a mess this morning.

Caligula is supposed to have said, "Would that the people of Rome had but one neck," meaning it would be faster and easier than beheading them one by one.

It is increasingly obvious that ever-greater reliance on increasingly interlocked and interdependent technological systems gives society a more effective "single neck" than Caligula could ever have hoped for.
