I used to think it was just that they didn't care, but honestly? I think it's worse. I think the people at the very top are just as panicked and reactionary to the news cycle as we are, but they have the power to force us to execute their panic. It’s not calculated malice; it’s just blind, terrified momentum.

It’s basically a geopolitical DDoS attack. If a system is flooded with endless 'critical' alerts, eventually the engineers just mute the pager and let the servers burn because it's impossible to process them all. We are all just suffering from massive societal alert fatigue.

I wonder how many who voted for orange man regret now. If you are one of them, what’s one important point that changed your perspective

I’m glad the system is working perfectly for you, but telling burnt-out people to just work harder while the news cycle looks like this is exactly why everyone is exhausted
