>If they couldn’t track segregation and destinations in the pipeline, that is a good reason to shut down. Wouldnt that then conceded the pipeline was not fine?

>If they couldn’t track segregation and destinations in the pipeline, that is a good reason to shut down. Wouldnt that then conceded the pipeline was not fine? >If they were just going to be delayed in sending out invoices or had to input some items into the system manually after recovery, they most definitely should not have shut down. I am willing to bet a signifigant number of "customers" (businesses in this case with teams of lawyers) would challenge the vailidity of invoices based on estimates and not actual usage. Theres no free lunch, the pipeline owners understand this and decided its in the best interest for their company to stop deliveries until the system that manages their order tracking is back online. Thats totally reasonable. The US government (and states for that matter) made 0 guarantees of coverage of any thing. And even if they did, its not like the government does much to make anything a straightforward process.
