Alright, now weā€™re getting somewhere.

Should probably cross-post in the Conspiracy Theories thread, but I wonder to what extent all the unanswered questions about the Solarwinds hack play into this. Seriously. Itā€™s gargantuan fundamental things in our digital world that I think the Russians are trying to accomplish, like ā€œweā€™ll degrade O365 and Webex and Zoom performance so Americansā€™ quality of life sucks a little bit more in 2020ā€ and ā€œweā€™ll screw up 5% of the deliveries during the Holidays to add just a bit of frustration to their livesā€ and ā€œwatch 5% of filed tax returns in April show as ā€˜not submittedā€™ so their country has to deal with audits and stress and they wonā€™t see what weā€™re doing with our left handā€ ā€¦ Playing the long game. Death by 1,000 cuts kind of stuff.

And at the end of the day, Refuge Secret Santa suffers ā€“ this aggression will not stand, man!

It could be as simple as this: thereā€™s a 100,000 truck driver shortage in the US. What if we simply donā€™t have enough truck drivers to transport all the goods during peak times.

This is, without question, the issue. it just felt good to bitch a bit upthread.

I have zero issues with the fact that things get lost and/or delayed, thatā€™s just what happens sometimes. The actual people doing the deliveries arenā€™t intentionally doing it and are busting their asses to make sure that every one of the packages finds itā€™s destination as quickly as it can.

I did not need this in my life, today.

Yeah, my bad. That line of thinking only leads to dark places ā€¦

Would a little eye bleach help?

You ever have that feeling where you discover a bunch of posts made by your SS recipient whose profile is maybe or maybe not on private so they were particularly hard to stalk, and then learn about all kinds of other great gift ideas for him or her that itā€™s now too late to buii? Asking for a friend.

We should really have a FedEx Cup style leaderboard thatā€™s just tracking expected vs actual shipping times.

Iā€™m trusting them to get my package? Iā€™m sorry giftee
