“Hey oldguy. A lot of the brilliant, hard working old guys who have been maintaining systems like these for decades, have been retiring the last few years. Or in worse cases, dying off.”
I worked at a DR site and we kept a bank of old IBM reel tape drives for the Feds to use. One department would come in with 10 people and they would all stand around watching one guy work. :)

Its part of Space Force. They see everything that is going on and who’s naughty and who’s nice. Just like they watched all the election fraud in realtime in 2020 and 2022.

Oh I can’t wait for how proudly and confidently Buttigeig will tell us everything is perfectly under his complete control and is already handled.He has an exceptional ability to talk authoritatively and say absolutely nothing of substance.

Incompetence on parade! Elections have consequences. Sequential election of Congress and administrations with demented political agendas has consequences of historical proportions.

The billions we spend on ‘intelligence’ is a (90%) waste of money.

Nice Job Pete, seems like every week we have another national transportation disaster.
Someone pointed out that Buttigieg is so bad at his job, that Americans actually know who the Secretary of Transportation is.

Everything started getting really strange under Barky.
And his followers act like there’s nothing wrong.

We are living in the Bizarro World
Or, more accurately
The times of Luke 17:26-32 - prophesied by the Lord to be as in the Days of Lot (Genesis chapter 19)
Genesis 19:23-28 - New King James Version
23 The Sun had risen upon the Earth when Lot entered Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.
25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
28 Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

Democrats put the mentally ill in charge of things and everything goes to crap. Not a surprise, more of a sign of a collapsed society.

. . . and we can expect our infrastructure to continue its decay as the complexion of the country darkens. It’s terribly unfashionable to say such things, but it was those horrible white men who built this into a First World powerhouse. Our new population is simply incapable of maintaining it.

“The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it experienced a computer outage and was working to fix the problem.”
Betcha they got hacked and just won’t admit it.
To: oldguy1776
“I’d be curious to know just how new or how antiquated the systems that the FAA uses are.”
Since it’s the government, the computers are probably running on Windows 95 because they’re using a custom software that won’t run on anything else so they can’t upgrade.
To: Boogieman
Oh that is truer than you know. I have been told, not verified mind you, that there are still systems running COBOL in the govt....:) You will find older systems many times in state govts. not because there is no money to upgrade but because they won’t pay a competitive salary to attract the talent needed to upgrade these systems and maintain them. Some of my fellow grey haired IT buddies have been approached about doing upgrades, etc. but the pay offered is ridiculous. They can make more working part time than working for the govt. But that has always been the case sad to say.
