The Sun just bathed Earth in an enormous X-Ray flare, knocking out power globally. Unable to restore power quickly, governments stand idly by bickering while people run out of food and water, and begin the rioting that ultimately causes the demise of civilization.
In the ensuing civil wars, 50% of the population is wiped out, starting with the educated, who are blamed by the bottom rung for the disaster.
The few who remain postwar get together to "reboot" civilization.
"Shit, there are no computers. We're all fucked."
Either not realizing it, or being willfully ignorant of it because it doesn't fit in with the "it's W's fault" narrative.

Corporations shift money internally all the time, and the result is that it can appear that one part of the business is hemorrhaging money.
It's not that trivial, actually. Fuel expands and contracts with temperature, and measuring fluid flow accurately is actually pretty damn hard, especially for very small flows. It's easy to estimate within about 5% based on injector duty cycle, fuel rail pressure, and temperature, but even then any kind of nonideality in the injector could radically change the accuracy of the "measurement."
How much of my money do you think I should be allowed to keep? Be honest.
They are using weasel words in a transparent attempt to mislead readers into believing the conclusion is true.
