I have a question . If I’m a huge tech company and my company is interrupted by hackers or server problems that keep me from making money , is there an insurance for that the tech world has ?

Because they're usually the ones that need service packs installed, bug fixes, yada yada yada. Microsoft is the biggest whore in the software world with the worst software.

It was just an example. Every system needs maintenance. If you fire the cleaning crew the building doesn't get trashed overnight but will eventually

Yes. It's called cyber insurance. It was always very expensive, but premiums for cyber insurance have absolutely skyrocketed over the last 3 years due to the large number of major hacks and the resulting claims. Also, you don't just get to say that you want cyber insurance coverage. You have to submit answers to cyber insurance questionnaires that ask extensive questions about your company's I/T network and security. Then, they may or may not choose to cover your company based on your answers to those questions. Hacks are so common these days that most companies, not just huge tech companies, would be wise to look into cyber coverage.

When a company can fire 2/3rds of their workforce and it chugs right along, for some reason, I'm thinking these people didn't do much.

Thinking you don't know much about how Twitter works (and neither do I but I have been reading a lot about it over the weekend). Most of the employees are engineers who are writing code constantly. Read an article that said Twitter is a world wide game of whack a mole. Every day new problems arise that are solved by the engineers. From what I read, the trick is in making sure the new code does not negatively interact with existing software. If you eliminate positions, you eliminate some of the responses and you aren't reviewing changes for conflicts.

I always laugh at you guys who think California is hell and everyone out there is one step away from economic catastrophe. They seem to be doing pretty well. And yes I would move there but it would take $1 million a year to have the lifestyle I would want, but that's just because I didn't become a billionaire. That darn Powerball.

Trust me, the base level wildlands firefighters are pretty much the most manual labor intensive job in the worst conditions you can find. For some reason it is glamorized by some (normally younger folks) but make no mistake, it is **** work.

"Can you use a rake? Don't know what a rake is? Trust me, we'll train you lol"

There's some technical know how involved, but by and large, it's not rocket science.

I’ve lived there . They are gluttons for punishment while loving to complain about how expensive it is and all their problems , while continuing to vote in the same ones that will give them something to complain about . They also live in a bubble and think that everyone else is just like they are .

Learning how to use a rake? It is worse than I thought.

Made in America by people making a livable wage. Would you rather it be made in a Chinese sweat shop and sold for $20? No, you'd just complain about that too.
