If their operation team is not US based that's going to be difficult to operate. They would have to reorganize the whole company as I'm pretty sure that they are not employing only US citizen.
And then they will complain that Chinese company are simply crushing them... As a European, I have been buying only Asian cars for ages as I don't want to play their "add options" game, and I think that more and more people are tired of that.
"Just as an example, the best performing company this year is Total with 15B and which is happily feeding the government with petrodollars and the other people with lies about "Net Zero " etc."
French government is not a shareholder of Total at any meaningful level, less than 30% of Total shareholders are French and Total is a multinational paying taxes in multiple countries, so I don't know from where your petrodollars are coming from.
There is a lot that can be say about French energy policy but mentioning Total is really the less relevant one...
This may be possible for a theater hosting a unique event, but never for a music festival, where you have like 30-50 different artists/bands on one night. There you have people responsible for each aspect. Of course you have a stage manager responsible for the overall operation of each stage, but there is no way that a guy can make sure that everything is ok in all details for all artists (the riders sheets can sometime several pages of different requests, like that hotel room must contains this kind of pillow etc.). As you say you have to delegate, and if one of the guys of the backstage team forget to sort the M&Ms, it will be a problem for the guy in charge of the backstage, but that's it. Like in any large organization, you cannot imply that because the customer support guy messed up that all the engineering team is bad. So here, if they wanted to make sure that technical guideline where followed it would be better to put something like: please mark all this kind of cable with pink and yellow tape.
This is quite strange, having organized a large music festival this kind of document were split among different teams. Meaning that people in charge of the backstage are managing their part (getting food, M&Ms, specific brand of beer, and other non nonsensical request, etc) and the people in charge of the stage and technical stuff are taking care of technical requirements (and aligning them between different bands sharing the same stage).
So if someone from the backstage team messed up the M&Ms, it will bring absolutely no information about how the situation was handled by the guys in charge of the stage...
So this canary will be quite ineffective in reality
"but what if they don't or they claim to have forgotten their password etc?"
How do you manage this kind of use case in your normal operation? Does it mean that if you cannot reset your password your account is locked forever? If not how is this process less valid to answer a GDPR request?
