So let's look at the chain of events: companies start to become monopolies, make billions of dollars that way. They become "too big too fail", important "infrastructure" for the US. Then, start to expose their user's data on public networks, and don't follow proper security procedures. Now, the public has to pay for the government to secure the magacorp networks! It's a non-stop scam, where they fail their (already small) responsibilities and use public funds to increase their monopolies!

First MBAs various JIT acolytes did everything to make sure there is nothing on hand or manufactured in US just in case it ate into the profits and then when the 'everything shortage' happened, they had the balls to run to the government asking for bailou.. sorry.. incentives to move manufacturing to US. It is fascinating to watch, because it is done with a very straight face and expensive lawyers.
- coliveira 5y agoIt is all another chapter of the US war against its own people. All the money is going to scammers, I mean, mega corps.
- xibalba 5y agoThe Colonial Pipeline is a monopoly? It appears to be a joint venture between at least 5 energy companies. Or to what monopoly are you referring? There is not mention of any other companies in this article. When hackers start to interfere with American food and energy supply chains, it rises to the level of national security, IMHO. With all due respect, it seems like you might be jamming this story into a pre-chosen narrative.
- ginja 5y agoI too dislike megacorps, but you could say the same thing about a business being robbed - they most likely could have done something to prevent it but police will still respond and not charge them for it.
- genmud 5y agoSure, the cops will also say your a dumbfuck for transporting hundreds of millions of dollars on an open bed truck in the middle of Detroit.
- rawtxapp 5y agoWell it's one thing getting robbed when you took precautions like securing your back entrances, putting security cameras in your store, putting the cash in some kind of safe and it's a different if you take no precautions whatsoever and everything is out in the open. Many of these companies that get hacked haven't even done the bare minimum, so it's not even remotely comparable to a robbery imo.
- genmud 5y agoNailed it in the first try!
