(15,882 posts)want to, apparently, understand that what is being reported only ranges between trivial and nonsensical.
And if there really was a serious attack from domestic sources that really did anything there would be people with guns responding to inform them of the finer points of the law. But most have so little effect that it doesn't even warrant spending the gas to go to their house.

The problem is the site design and the lack of preparation and testing, which means it is no different from most poorly implemented sites in the private sector. The tragedy is that it is so important to people's lives, and visible, and wasn't given the attention and seriousness it deserved. And now millions of people get to pay the price. And that's on the project managers and their bosses.
And if people will quit wanting to be lied to, it will get fixed faster.
