Is Facebook having problems? ACA related...

-

!!!FIRST OFF: HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!

I'm having a problem getting into facebook. Is anyone else having this problem also?

It's Thanksgiving so, it's kind of understandable. Maybe too many people are logged in or trying to log in.

Made me stop and think about when the ACA website first opened for business and all those log in problems were reported.

What's interesting also is that one of the ways a hacker (or group of hackers) can shutdown a website is by sending the computers (the website resides on) too many request for it to handle at one time.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

In the interest of total disclosure, I don't like being forced to buy health insurance, but I would probably have not liked paying the FICA tax when it first started; but, I'm also not stupid and I do realize the soundness of everyone chipping in so the rates go down. Now it's up to the insurance companies...

Kind of sad seeing some of my friends are out shopping already. Going to make turkey dinner now...
