Wow,
in every other country: that would be shocking.

Seriously?

The only one or two power outages I had my entire life in Germany: were planned weeks ahead.
I know of a power outage, where a transformer house caught fire.

There was a big power outage in the former German east, when we had ice rain and some of the over land pillars carrying the cables got so much ice that they collapsed - blamed on inferiour quality of the steel.

Then we had a northern Spain power outage - a year ago or so - because France did not deliver. And once there was a north Italy/Swiss power outage.

Unless there is a kind of majour catastrophe, and a cascade of bad luck/bad planning: there are no power outages.

Not even in Thailand, where we have reasons for power outages, like a majour storm and falling down trees cut the lines, we have such events. If there is a power outage, it is fixed in 2h or 4h. And most other infrastructure like internet and phones and water supply are not affected. As they have back up power or their own grid.

Yep, because mine are all segregated onto their own VLAN (well, more specifically 1 of either 2 VLANs depending on if an internet connection is even needed or not to control the devices). I then have my pFsense edge router denying access to many things using pfSense-ng (which is sort of like pihole, but on steroids as it not only works on the DNS lookup info, but also applies active firewall rules to block the outgoing and incoming traffic from both the DNS names but also the IP's so that a piece of software can't bypass a pihole like device by simply coding in IP addresses)...

[...]economics grads[...] May explain why they are near universally bad at it.
Because economics usually has nothing to do with running the business they are employed in.
If they would love their job, they would pick up the trade and figure how their economics skills fit into it.

However they lean back and tell everyone if the oil price is increasing, everything gets more expensive.

Well ... not sure if I need an Master of BA or Master of economics to grasp that.

The next thing is: we can fire half the people, the company will roll on its momentum for half a year, and has a huge profit increase, and then we rehire and see how to go on.

The blockchain is to know which person once owned the coin, that is all.
Not sure if that is an ridiculous overhead.

Otherwise I agree with you.

The first time I went into a business via a web site where I wanted to use "microtransactions", I wanted to sell stuff for 50cents. The fee was $2,30 per transaction.

No idea how that is in our days, Germany just introduced a new payment platform that is supposed to be fee free ... lets see.

But they do not have a "Share to my friends" option.

Can not be so hard to grasp.

Better option would be to group message everyone details to your event.

I do not know all your friends and friends of your friends and their friends who might be interested in that event: so, I can not reach them. Without a platform that works similar like facebook, or TikTok etc.

In other words: without invading your account, stealing all your friends and grouping them into:
- likes Aikido
- likes Tango
- likes Surfing

etc.

I have no idea how to reach anyone of them for an Aikido event.

There is nothing to wonder about.
Basically everything that happened the last 2 years under that administration was playing and gaming the big markets.
And my it just be selling Patriot missiles to Ukraine on a loan.

Unfortunately some stuff big misfired.

Tax on Solar panels from China.
Invade Venezuela and cut Cuba from oil.
China just gifts the Solar panels they can not sell to Cuba.

Stupid American idiots.

Just as if America has no people in its country ... and they are aghast that people from China help people from Cuba with a gift.
