vanity: The Only Connection Left Is The Internet. Are We Prepared?
04/02/2020

The internet is the only thing binding Americans right now and I am really concerned what would happen if it drops.

If there were ever a perfect storm and and easy opportunity for a take over of America it is now. This is how it will be done—lock us in, remove communications and it's over. Simple.

“really concerned what would happen if it drops”

Earlier someone remarked that children need to get back to school — otherwise they might learn to think for themselves.

Same with the internet.

Any reports of riots and looting must go unnoticed. From now on in we all walk .... (really?? Sorry /s tag required). The masses aren’t used to rabbit holes

We have been warned by a few with “connections “ that the phones and internet May go dark for a few days but will come back after certain events occur. I’m hoping that this eventuality is a worst case scenario.

Same here. When I turned to FNC it said I needed to upgrade my subscription to get it. This morning I turned to FNC and it had been replaced by HGTV. So instead of Fox & Friends I got Property Brothers.

“Rather nutty theory.”

One of the big negatives of all of these people being at home. The constant, more insane $hit they come up with because they have nothing else to do but play on the internet all day.

"Rather nutty theory."

Like flying airplanes into buildings? And how well did cell phones work on 9/11? So, remember,

I will drive my Mad Max Suzuki Samurai to the sound of guns and get my adrenalin fix. Maybe catch some lead in the process. At least I won’t die sitting around wondering where the internet went.

It’s a good thing the U.S. still has control of the internet.

Oh, wait.

I certainly caught my share of stuff with this post. But, when we are all locked at home and we don’t know what’s going on in California, Idaho or even down the street, it becomes real to me.

If anything should happen and y’all need help text me of otherwise notify me here and I’ll come running.

Here, let me give you a mini lesson ( “help me to” ). The word,” too “ is an adverb that means “ also “. It is usually preceded by a comma and an example might look like this - ” help me, too “

There’s a super clever Facebook page called, “ Flash the Grammar Cat “. He’s funny and helpful, but suspect he might have a human assistant.

You can bet that terrorist organizations are seeing this as an opportunity. Something nobody wants to talk about.

I put that on the end to see how long it would take for me to be corrected.
Thanks for the help. Your a nice grammar nazi. Unlike some here who attack a un-reviewed auto correct.

And for math, find some older Saxon Math books. They’re very good and the kids can actually go through them in a self teaching manner.

I’m in telecom and we all have DHS letters designating our Company as critical infrastructure and I am labeled essential personnel (there’s a first for everything).

The internet will not go down but if I see any indications that there could be disruptions then I would certainly post about it here first.

I’ll be running several more 100gig connections for hospitals and banks today related to this pandemic. Many companies and carriers seem to be adding capacity while the world is shutting down. Just MHO of course.

Godspeed.
