This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there’s always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y’all have done so far.

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.

It could be worse.

The US loves the cartels. They get us all the drugs we consume and give us a lucrative market to sell our surplus small arms.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

It’s almost as if political dynasties/neoptism/cronyism shouldn’t be a thing. Fuck Trump. And fuck Menendez. And Kennedy. Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Paul, Ashcroft, and probably dozens of others that aren’t coming immediately to mind.

Form the minute lil Robert declared he was running, the local media simply treated him as the heir to his dad’s old seat. Because it was true. He cruised on connections, many of them because his daddy is a crook. I’m hoping Andy Kim can primary senior if he wriggles free again, but Murphy’s wife is also running and would you look at that, now we’re right back at unqualified people pretending they can govern just because of who they’re related to.

Maybe one day junior will prove that he’s not just riding coattails as a golden boy. But it’s going to take more than an outburst to do it.

Alternate headline:

“Nepo baby of corrupt scumbag throws tantrum, makes good points; still nepo baby who had positions handed to him on silver platter”

He tried blackjack already. Poor guy couldn’t figure out how to keep multiple casinos, an industry known for basically printing money, afloat. Truly baffling considering what a genius businessman he is.
