I'm waiting for hackers to shut off the electricity, to let us know they've got our ass.

I fully expect one day in the not too distant future for hackers who have been hitting hundreds of our utilities, infrastructure, communications.... to one day just shut it all down. They'd do this to show us that they are in control and have our asses in a sling. It might be for ransom, but I'd more likely expect it to be a show of force.

If we come after the real hackers, I wonder if that's when they'd pick to do so.

So if the hackers knock us all off this afternoon, it's been real fun, gang.


Peace

the credit card industry. The plastic in your pocket won't work anywhere, for anything.

That would be worse for many since cash is too heavy to deal with

Worker bees doing the heavy lifting while banks and our national wealth are looted. Blueprint within.

Before Putin no billionaires now there are over 90 in Russia. Billionaire is a lot of money. We are owned.
