If anyone out there is feeling a bit down about the general state of the tech industry, I highly encourage you to look into jobs in the green energy field.

There are so many things this world needs smart people doing. A slowdown in the tech sector might just be the catalyst.

Southwest executives understood that they were running on borrowed time with their crew scheduling software. At the very least an alternate or secondary process should have been in place.

The US air traffic control network is a good example. In case of a primary failure, there exist secondary procedures adopted from before air traffic control radar was common.

Excellent question and thanks for asking. I've spent some time with a fair number of millennials and I'm impressed with their kindness and consideration for others.

Lauren Bobert tweeted Nancy Pelosi's location when she was relocated for security reasons. The leaders of both the Oathkeepers and The Proud Boys are under arrest for their involvement that day. The FBI is still investigating who placed the pipe bombs near the capital.

It is a big deal.

If I had to apply an "aggravation factor", air travel is worse. The train just doesn't seem to bug me as much. One difference is that when the train arrives I'm in the city center. When the plane arrives I'm at the airport.

You're not wrong but there is a cachet with Macs that is undeniable. It's not unusual for the executives or creatives to use Macs in an otherwise fully Windows based organization.

Take a look a the I15 corridor north of Escondido in San Diego county. There are neighborhoods there farther than 5 miles from services.

In American suburbs it's typical for there to be nothing but houses within a 3 to 5 mile area. Any supplies or groceries must be transported a significant distance in a pedestrian hostile environment.

Contrast this with the fact that cable subscriptions are in steep decline:

Just anecdotally, we went out to eat at a place we hadn't been to since before the pandemic. Their prices have doubled. We spent $50 on lunch.
